What's happening around the island…

Lots going on – here’s a start:

• From Rev at the County Fairgrounds: The San Juan County Fair will host the second fall Flea Market & Craft Fair, Saturday, November 14, 2009.  The final fall and holiday Market & Fair will be December 12.

The market is open to all sellers, artists, crafts people and buyers, from 9:00a.m. until 1:00p.m. in the Main Building at the fairgrounds. Come and enjoy coffee and pastries from Café Demeter while you browse the great crafts and flea market items.

There is still room for vendors, so clean out those closets, bail out the garage and get a space at the market.  Applications for a vendor booth space are available online at www.sanjuancountyfair.org , on the home page.  You may also contact the Fair office at 378-4310 or email info (at) sanjuancountyfair.org for information or an application to reserve a booth space.  There is a discount to vendors for reserving booth space on both dates.

• I think it’s the longest domain name on the island:
exceptionallypricedpropertiesinthesanjuans.com is a Coldwell Banker that points to some pretty exceptionally priced properties here…check ’em out!

• Open House at Harbor Insurance: Ellen says it’s been ten years – here’s more:
