Booze and Snacks – What’s a Boozy Book Fair without some booze? Upland Brewery  has got you covered at their cash bar! Grab your preferred beverage beer, Hopwater, or a signature cocktail made just for the event. Booze not your thing, a variety of sodas will be waiting for you. If you get snacky, pick up something from our table of light refreshments, provided by WonderLab.

Other Activities & Special Guests  – Too many books, no such thing! WonderLab’s Boozy Book Fair with Morgenstern Books is sure to be packed book lovers trying to find something new. Want to start a book club?  Trying to find your next favorite read? Support a great local business? You can do it all at the Boozy Book Fair.
