School principal Alan Grant says the fair’s not only Queenstown’s biggest book fair — currently four classrooms are full of books — but he’s heard people come from all over the South Island each year.
However, there’ll also be many other stalls selling, among other things, food, coffee and plants, as well as entertainment.
As a classroom project, year 7 and 8 students are also running stalls, including crafts they’ve made, second-hand stalls and chances to shoot a hoop or score a goal.
Grant says businesses have kindly stumped up almost $30,000 in prizes.
"Part of what blew us out of the water last year was we introduced a new sponsorship model for businesses, and the response was great."
Funds raised, he says, will go towards learning support staff and school camps, in particular.
Sunday’s fair, on the school grounds off Beetham St, runs from 10am till 2pm — entry’s by gold coin donation.
