If you don’t already have these two events marked on your calendar, it’s not too late!
1) The Friends of the Franklin Library annual booksale (at 9151 W. Loomis Road.)
There’s something here for everyone’s reading taste – at bargain prices.
The times are Saturday, September 8, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Sunday, September 9, from 1 to 4 p.m. (Sunday is “Bargain Book Day” with even lower prices.)
All proceeds go to support special events and projects at the library.
2) The 25th annual Harvest of Art and Crafts Show at historic Trimborn Farm Park, 8881 W. Grange Avenue.
The times for both Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9, are from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $4.
This year 160 artists and craftspeople from throughout the upper Midwest will display and sell thousands of unique creations in numerous media. Other attractions include musical entertainment, children’s activities, and an opportunity to tour the historic buildings and grounds. A “spouses’ waiting area” will broadcast Sunday’s Packer football game.
The event is hosted by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Proceeds will help support and restore Trimborn Farm.
See you there!
