Plan now, or forget and then be surprised later, for the Gypsy Sisters Air Faire in early May.

You might wonder why I'm writing this so early. It's so I don't forget later.

The faire, held with the Claremont Forum and Prison Library Project. donates a percentage of the earnings to send books to U.S. prisoners to help their spiritual life and education.

The event runs from 4 to 9 p.m. May 1, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 2 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 3.

There will be 28 local artists at the faire including a massage therapist and a psychic. Art includes sculptures, carved and painted gourds, quilting, glass, paintings, prints, jewelry, original hand made toys, clothing, woodcarving and household decorations will be at the faire.

The event takes place on the main floor of the Packing House in Claremont's Village West at 532 W. First St.
