Heritage to host book fair

Come One, Come All! Heritage Book Fair Returns in Partnership with Blue Ribbon Book Fairs

A Night at the Carnival!  The 7th Annual Heritage Book Fair will be held on Thursday, March 26th from 5-7 p.m. at the Heritage Elementary School in Homer. 

This year we are excited to announce that our very own 8th grade student-magician, Dillon Woodmansee, will be performing his tricks of the trade, so step right up and be amazed!  Please join us for lots of free games, prizes, activities, free food, and as always – Books! 

We will start serving dinner at 5 p.m. and continue until it’s gone.  In the multi-purpose room we will be serving free pizza (Compliments of Casey’s in Homer), hot dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks!

Please come and enjoy an evening filled with magic, good food, fun games, and bountiful books!
