They seem so quaint now, but always wonderful. The honesty, the simplicity, the return to the land feeling. I miss them.

It's wonderful that you have so many options to market and meet new people!

Here the smallest village puts on a annual fair and it's surprising how many turn out for those. We also have a Steam Show in our community every year and watching those steam engines doing farm tasks that now take huge John Deere tractors is really interesting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290481404730172080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-84067931543901348652015-09-17T04:07:17.327-07:002015-09-17T04:07:17.327-07:00Seems to me attending fairs provide you with good ...Seems to me attending fairs provide you with good ways of promoting your book, even though it's an e-book.
