Enthusiasts of historic homes and properties can participate in a day's
worth of workshops and events Saturday at the first Home and Heritage Fair
at the Glendale Civic Center (5750 W. Glenn Dr.).  The fair is part of the
Arizona Preservation Foundation's annual conference, which continues through
Saturday.  Although the foundation has organized an annual conference for
four years, this is the first year it incorporated the heritage fair.
"We've had a homeowner track in the conference before, but it was tough for
the public to come on a weekday," said Jim McPherson, president of the
foundation.  "So we built it out to be more of a home and garden show on the
weekend."

The fair will feature vendors, booths and guest speakers discussing a
variety of topics related to historic properties.  Below is a detailed
schedule of workshops and events for Saturday's event:
