Homeschool Fair - August 24, 2013

Have you heard? We're having a homeschool fair! Friends of Alachua County Homeschoolers would like you to join our efforts in connecting homeschoolers and potential homeschoolers to resources that could benefit them. We will have vendors that appeal to homeschooling families with children of ALL AGES. Check out our flyer below!

We look forward to seeing you all at the fair!

Alachua County Homeschool Fair

Everyone else, please keep an eye on this space to learn more about what we have in the works for the homeschool fair. We plan to occupy Rosa B. Williams/Union Academy Recreation Center (often colloquially dubbed as Yopp!, since that amazing NFP operates the space) on August 24, from 9am to 2pm. Vendors with appeal to homeschoolers will be there showing off their wares. Homeschool groups will be demonstrating their offerings to potential members. Non-profit groups with educational appeal will table as well. We'll have live entertainment provided by vendors as well as use of the playground space.

We'll keep you posted here, so check back soon to learn more about our exciting Alachua County Homeschool Fair!
