As always, this is a budget-friendly and family-friendly event. Parking on site is free and a very modest admission of $5 is charged for attendees age 16-years and up. Food and beverage vendors are available, but attendees may bring a picnic lunch if they prefer. There will be a book sales table, an opportunity to get your purchases signed, a souvenir table, and much more!
