Homeschool curriculum fairs have long been a staple of the homeschool family's life.  However, not everyone lives near a homeschool fair, and once you factor in gas, admission, food, and perhaps even a hotel, attending a fair can be quite expensive.  Wouldn't it be great if you could get the same information that a homeschool fair provides simply by downloading it on to your computer?  Now you can, and it's all available in the Homeschoolers Guide to Educational Resources!
