You wore your Book It! button with pride, smashed personal pan pizzas, and can still summon the excitement (and smell) of a fresh stack of Scholastic Book Fair catalogs landing in your classroom.


Join us at Scout Hall as we bring the magic back at the Grown-Up Book Fair on September 25-26!


What to expect:

Turn pages and browse the racks for a book or 12 to take home with a curated selection from our favorite local booksellers at The Book Rack. But that's not all, big kids. There's more to explore with:

  • A full bar, plus literary-themed cocktails and mocktails for purchase
  • Free coffee samples (the best kind) from our pals at the Ground-A-Bout, plus exclusive themed specialty beverages available for purchase
  • Old school bake sale with all the snacks from Bon Bon's
  • Art prints for sale from local artists, curated by the Arts Council (no promises on puppies or Ferrari posters, but we'll try)
  • A Where's Waldo? hunt (for prizes) in each session
  • DIY crafting stations
  • A photo area to snap all the memories
  • Plenty of chill space to kick back, sip and peruse your latest read

BONUS: The first 100 people to snap up a ticket to the Grown-Up Book Fair receive a FREE Scout Hall tote bag when they arrive!
