Mark Your Calendars Now!

We waited before we had 5000 bookmarks printed to be certain that our sale was going to be on the very last date the Montgomery County Fairground said was available. We waited ’till the absolute last minute before approving our half-page ad in the newspaper. Then, last week, we got the call. Would we like our old dates instead? Would we ever!

We are delighted to announce that the 47th annual Dayton Book Fair will be in its old home at the Coliseum Building at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, Friday November 10th through Monday, November 13th.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday’s Clean Sweep is just 8 am till noon.

Admission on Friday, November 10 is $10 at the door, or you can pre purchase numbered wristbands through this site starting at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, October 1st. Cost for online purchase is $11 per wristband (to cover Paypal fees and postage) and entrance will be in the numbered wristband order.

Admission on Saturday, November 11th is free. We’ll have all kinds of interesting things going on Saturday with Jane Austen making a special appearance, along with story tellers,  cupcakes and mystery discount cards after 6 p.m.

Sunday, November 12 is bag day— all bags are $7.50 (which includes tax) and includes everything in the sale except collectibles, which are half price. Admission is free

On Monday, November 13 it’s our special Clean Sweep. On Monday morning only from 8 a.m. to noon, pay one dollar to get in and take all the books, movies, records, magazines that you want.
