The Farmington Valley Home Educators

Used Curriculum Fair

 Friday, June 4, 2010

4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church
     7 Westcott Rd. Simsbury Ct.
The sellers set their own prices. All kinds of educational materials can be found; from kits to books, everything from art to science and more. Shoppers who are new to these kinds of fairs will find games, puzzles, toys, books videos, study guides, text books, workbooks and other traditional curriculum materials. There are usually free items as well. Please bring cash, with many items at tag sale prices it doesn't make sense to write a check for a couple of dollars. Also some of the vendors cannot take personal checks, so cash is best.
