We have not yet held the fall show tor 2021 , but it will be happening October <br />.16th. <br />COVID has created a huge challenge to work through this past year and a half. We <br />have had to work to accommodate changes that would allow the show to open again <br />and keep shoppers and vendors safe. ln order to maximize safety and spread things <br />out, the show has adjusted it's location for the fall show to a very large open-air <br />building on the grounds. <br />2500 cha.acter lirnit
