Even though the Historic Winslow House is closed for the season, we are still hard at work planning our 2010 program of events. We know that the House has become a cultural center for the South Shore and we value the patronage and support that comes from our audience. Among the things that will be happening is “Bookstock”–our first book fair, open to all ages and to all genres. The tentative date for that is October 9. We are also planning a special fundraising event for the end of June. As soon as details are available, we will let you know. Be sure to go onto our Facebook page for updates, as well as our website.
