FALL FOR THE BOOK PARTNERS WITH CITY OF FAIRFAX TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES
FAIRFAX, VA, July 9, 2020 - With COVID-19, social distancing, and cancelled summer vacations, Fall for the Book is finding new ways to have fun and support our community. Along with bringing the entire festival online this fall and extending from September through November, Fall for the Book is hosting online Trivia Night fundraisers during the months of June and July. Thanks to the generous support and partnership with the Fairfax City Economic Development Authority (EDA), gift certificates to local businesses will be awarded to trivia winners.
“Fall for the Book has made its home in Fairfax for twenty-two years. Even though we’re moving our events online this Fall, we still want to lend a hand to the local businesses and community members who have supported us for so long,” said Suzy Rigdon, the festival manager. Local Fairfax establishments included in this support are the Coyote Grille, The Auld Shebeen, Cameron’s Coffee & Chocolate, and Dante Salon & Wellness.
