    2. Pat M Mahan
    3. Good Morning Everyone! Many of you have connections in Lawrence Co TN - one of our neighboring counties - and they will be having a Family History Fair later this month. Hope to see you there! Pat ******************************************************************* The Lawrence County Genealogical Society will host a Family History Fair Saturday, June 28, 2003, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Lawrence County High School located on Springer Rd. in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. A small admission fee of $1 will be charged. If you are interested in genealogy, this is a great opportunity to meet new people who are researching on your same family lines. (Please note the change from the 3rd Sat. to the 4th Sat. in June.) We have had tremendous response to our fair in past years, and hope that everyone will continue to make it a great success. Each year we have had over one hundred people in attendance, with researchers from twelve or more states. Information on about eighty-five Lawrence County families has been displayed on the various tables reserved by researchers. There were also vendors with many books for sell on Lawrence County, Giles County, and other surrounding counties. All who have attended our previous fairs had a wonderful time swapping information. A copy machine will be available for copies of any information you need copied. So bring, family charts, notebooks, photographs, family stories, computers, etc. and join in the fun. If you are bringing information to share with others or books for sell, tables are available for free, but we do ask that you please make a reservation in order for us to be able to determine how many tables need to be set up. Including the surnames of all the families you will have information on or the books you have for sell, will enable us to make a fair directory in advance. The society will also have a 2004 calendar containing sketches of different buildings across the county - hotel, railroad depot, houses, school, courthouse [1905], cotton factory, etc. for sale at the fair this year. The exact price has not be determined yet, but will probably be around $5. We hope to have door prizes as in the past also. You can use the registration form on our web page at http://web.infoave.net/~lcarchives/lcgenso.htm; or you can email the society directly at lcarchives@lorettotel.net and tell them you need a table. Also, you can contact the archives for a form or information on lodging, restaurants, maps, directions, etc. Lawrence County Archives, 218 N. Military Ave., Suite B-1, Lawrenceburg, TN 38464; telephone: 931-766-1576.
