SUMMARY:Kitchener Public Library Genealogy Fair
DESCRIPTION:Kitchener Public Library is organizing its seventh annual Genealogy Fair on Saturday\, November 2\, 2019. The event runs from 9:30 am to 4 pm at Central Library. It is open to the public with no admission charge. We are planning a variety of activities\, including free workshops and a vendor marketplace. Our previous Genealogy Fairs were successful beyond our expectations! We hosted 8-12 lectures at each event and saw over 300 people throughout the day at each Fair. We would like to offer your business or non-profit organization an opportunity to participate in our Fair. Reach your target market! \nThis year\, we are pleased to announce that Melanie McLennan\, of Ancestral Tapestry Genealogical Services\, will be our keynote speaker! Melanie will talk about her enthusiasm and success in using genetic genealogy in her Irish family research in her keynote address. \nThere are a two ways to participate:\n1) Marketplace Exhibitor\nSingle information & sales booths will be displayed in the main floor lounge of the Library. Tables (6 feet in length) cost $10 plus HST (total = $11.30) each. Electrical outlets\, one chair per exhibitor\, and Wi-Fi are provided.
