In addition to market-style shopping, the fair will feature a number of speakers and panel discussions — full details here.
Finally, local author, Christopher Moore, will present Sacre Bleu: A Comedy D’Art, next Tuesday at Books Inc. in Opera Plaza. Sacre Bleu, a piece of historical fiction, follows two men as they attempt to uncover the mystery behind van Gogh’s “suicide” — part mystery, party love story, and all comedy.
