"If you want to know the condition of a people, listen to its writers..."

HOLD THE DATES: EITHER
SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 2025 or
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2025

The Plaza will be under construction during the Summer. HBF has been offered the two dates above based on the projected completion. We have selected Saturday, August 30. If you plan to be an Exhibiting Author, kindly submit your application WITHOUT PAYMENT to hold your space. We thought this would be better for allowing planning time. We will keep you updated on all. Thanks for your flexibility.
