Having Mr. Farmer as an integral part of the Antique Fair will create a special opportunity for this community," said Mary Jordan, President Spencer Penn School Preservation Organization.

Money raised at the event will be used for school restoration and a community library, so we want everyone to come out and enjoy the festivities."

The Spencer Penn School was closed in 2004, due to consolidation of educational facilities.
