Parkway Central’s annual fair is the second weekend in November with proceeds going to a fine cause– to help fund trips, uniforms, musical instruments, buses, and color guard equipment for the school’s outstanding band–and to showcase local artists and crafters–and even local authors.

The PC fair is always marvelously well-attended.
