We are so thankful for everyone who attended the first fair at 10 Dixon Avenue. It was a smashing success. We’re already talking about how to improve next year’s fair - the 96th - on July 24th.

Thanks also to Ivy, the Library staff and Trustees. To our volunteers, it doesn’t happen without your hard work and dedication.

Much obliged,
The Friends of the Woodstock Library
