Our theme is mystery this year. "WHODUNIT?" salutes the myriad mysteries of life: from history's mysteries, favorite detective stories, and terrific mystery films, to ancient mysteries,  mysteries of the future, and how to best find out what you need to know to make your life work well. The only limit when you plan your spectacular booth presentation, is your imagination…the possibilities are endless. Our always informative and creative exhibitors are the event stars, and will make the 2009 Fair another smash success.
The 4500-5000 visitors will investigate the passions and services that make life worthwhile: health  information, legal and financial  services, travel adventures, hobbies and special interests of all kinds, from music and art, family events, safety, home improvement, adult education, volunteer opportunities, housing possibilities, club activities, sports, dancing, gardening and other pursuits that people enjoy.
