Local and regional record dealers from around the North East are bringing out thousands of vinyl records and CDs for your digging pleasure. 55 tables of vinyl records and CDs, over 4 rooms.What is new? After our biggest fair ever in March, we have been making some tweaks to ever improve the fair.
We are opening a second entrance off the bike path on the West side of the building, so you can enter either off the parking lot or off the bike path which can also be reached from Strong Ave/Pearl St by walking up the steps to the bike path.
New room, the West Entrance opens to the room with the ATM, where we will also have vendors set up. We've moved some tables out of the Ballroom and bar, into the West Entrance to open up room and make each space less crowded.
The bar will be open!! Yes the gorgeous full bar right in the middle of the fair will be open. You're invited to get drinks to enjoy while you shop. Alcohol for 21+, of course, though there will also be soft drinks and mocktails available.
Early admission from 9-11AM is $8 for the die hard's looking to snatch the rare finds. Early admission comes with a raffle ticket to potentially be one of the winners of gift certificates to local record stores and 3 $50 shopping sprees for the fair. The raffle will be called at 11AM.
