Books, magazines, memberships to associations, equipment, clothing, jewelry, luggage, chairs, food, you name it, and they have booths for it.  There are also seminars on a wide variety of subjects.<br \/>\nI used to make the trek with Dear Husband, but now, I let him go on his own, and I get to have a day all to myself,  There&#8217;s a baby quilt and a few gifts I want to finish for friends.  I can stay in, if I want, or go out.  I could even take in a movie!  Ahhhh&#8230;.isn&#8217;t it great to have an unstructured day!?
