The annual Easter Saturday Pearl Beach Book Fair will be held at the Memorial Hall on Saturday, April 8.
This is the 46th year of the annual fair which is the largest single fundraising activity managed by the Pearl Beach Progress Association.
It promises to be the best yet with thousands of pre-loved novels, biographies, children’s books and books on art, house and garden will be on offer, along with puzzles and DVDs.
Book Fair co-ordinator Alison Phillips said visitors could have a lot of fun searching for that special book.
“All books are good quality and include many popular authors to keep you engrossed,” she said.
“This year, as well as selling books, we will have the Back Deck Café, Easter raffle and a Homemade by Locals stall out front of the Memorial Hall.”
Cash or credit cards will be accepted with all proceeds from the book fair and raffle going toward Pearl Beach initiatives and hall upkeep and maintenance.
The fair will be open from 9am to 5pm.
Further details are available on 0487 444 537.
While you’re in the area, check out the Easter Art Trail, with Pearl Beach artisans welcoming locals and visitors to the Artist Hub in the Arboretum, and home studios open between 10am and 4pm.
More than 15 local artisans will be exhibiting in the The Artist Hub and 10 artists will be opening their studios to showcase and sell an eclectic and colourful selection of art, cards, jewellery, handicrafts, ceramics, pottery and sculptures.
A route map with details of the trail and addresses of the exhibitors will be available at the local cafe and community hall.
