2016 Heath Fair Photos at the library

The Heath Library has eight years of Heath Fair pictures on CDs from local photographers for you to borrow and view on your computer.

Other photographers who have contributed over the years are Doug Mason (recent years have included aerial shots from his drone mounted camera,) Bob Viarengo, and Ron & Tiger Waterman.
