Green Valley Book Fair road trip
I do not need more books. That doesn't mean I don't want to go to the Green Valley Book Fair for an afternoon though, and I'm craving a bit of a road trip. For those of you who've never been, it's essentially an enormous warehouse full of remaindered and overstock books, and I've been known to leave the place with two and a half grocery sacks full of TPB and hardback books after having spent under $60. It's not the place to go looking for some particular title, but it's plenty dangerous to browse. I am going with a budget this time, I swear.
The next iteration of Green Valley will be Aug. 16-Sept.1. Since I'm pretty sure I have plans on the 16th already and traffic on Labor Day weekend will be ever so much fun, I'm thinking I will go on Saturday, Aug. 23. My current thinking is to leave probably around 11-11:30ish (it's usually just under two hours from my door to the book fair), spend a few hours at the fair, get a really late lunch/pretty early dinner possibly in Harrisonburg, and then maybe take the scenic route back out 211, depending on how late it is and how worn out we all are. How many of y'all can I convince to go with? (There are a couple of folks who have dibs on the spare seats in my car already if they're going, just so's you know, but available car space will be finalized closer to the actual date.)
