The Annual Literature Fair 2010 will be held at the Automobile Driving Museum, 610 Lairport Street, El Segundo, California.  The facility is located in the industrial complex on the southern edge of LAX.  The precise location is three blocks south of Imperial Highway and one block east of Sepulveda Boulevard.  The location is convenient to the I-105 Freeway that intersects with I-605, I-5, I-710, SR-110 and I-405.  This year the Fair will be held on Sunday, June 27, 2010.  Vendors will set up their booths from 7 to 9 AM.  The Fair opens at 9 AM and ends at 3 PM.  This year the operating managers for the Fair will be The Automobile Driving Museum.  The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH) have decided not to manage the Fair this year. 

The event will take place as planned and all previous sales booth sizes and rental costs will remain the same as before. The major sales area will be outside the building but there will also be a smaller indoor area, which should be more comfortable for those who are affected by outdoor exposure. Food and drink service will be available from an on-site BBQ and a collection of over fifty beautifully restored cars will be available for viewing with a donation of $5 per adult.  The full docent staff will be in attendance to answer questions and the restoration shop will be open, and staffed, for visitors.  There is no admission charge for Fair attendance and shopping.  Space Reservation forms are available on request by contacting jodeeh@theadm.org.  Bob Falcon
