It's that time of year again! The Franklin County Historical Society is having its Annual History Fair at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Union, Missouri. There will be approximately 20 vendors set up inside, along with a few outside with a new feature: a Car Cruze! If the weather holds out, you will see a whole bunch of vintage cars lined up outside the KC Hall. What a great way to spend an afternoon.
I will also have a couple booths set up at the fair. My main one will be displaying some of my research and special items. I will also be offering my services for genealogy research. A special I will be running at the fair will include looking up a relative on the 1950 Census FOR FREE. I will have my tablet to look them up. Also on display will be a page from the 1950 census that has my mom and her family. I'm looking forward to starting doing this as my career.
Who else will be at the fair? Check out our flyer below.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention the other booth I will have set up as a display. If you noticed on the flyer, under my name, it says "Fort Leonard Wood Yearbook display". Yep, I will have the yearbooks in my collection on display for everyone to look at AND I will have my computer there as well to feature my website: Fort Leonard Wood Yearbooks. I've written about it a few times before, especially recently since the Search feature is now finally working! Yay! I'm so excited! Now it's time to focus on getting more yearbooks to add to the site.
This is our biggest event of the year. We will have a Silent Auction and a raffle for a one-night stay at McKelvey Vineyards (a $750 value). Tickets are only $10. I still have tickets if you are interested, but better hurry! The deadline is Sunday!
Hope to see you there!
