We had a wonderful Art & BookFair. Both weekends were so busy that people were turned away each weekend day. It was both exciting to have so many people, and sad turning people away. Social media really works! 

We can’t thank the volunteers enough for all their hard work. You were terrific!  The first Saturday no one could even stop for lunch. Next year we need more volunteers. If you sign up, please do come. We plan assignments according to the list of volunteers each day. Emergencies do happen and that is understood. Letting us know in advance helps us adjust accordingly. Having “no shows” affected the efficiency of our operation. 

Our Wrap-Up session was excellent. A report will be sent to those who volunteered. Thank you for your input. It takes everyone because we all do and see different things. Together, we will make ABF 2026 even better.

Now the exciting news – Art & BookFair 2025 made over $105,000 with a little more expected. Congratulations to all those who work throughout the year and those who volunteered at ABF. As a team, we meet all challenges and enjoy doing it.
