Welcome to our annual author event where you’ll find a book for everyone! Yes, we have children’s authors–and YA too–but most of our books are written for adults! 😉

This year’s fair is a Cos-play event! Join in by wearing a costume to represent your favorite book character!  There will be a contest for the winning costumes, so try to out-do yourself!

We are hosting panels, are selling food, alcohol, and have activities planned for the entire family.

Best of all, there is NO admission fee!
