The organization has been part of the Upper Bucks Community since 1964 and is looking “to go out into the community, reintroduce ourselves to our neighbors, and invite them to visit us and see what we’re all about,” Hall said.
Clothes, home items, coffee and sweets will also be available for sale. Live music will be provided by The Mike and Brian Project and Alex Buono Music. The gift shop will be open.
“All proceeds from this event will benefit the humanitarian, cross-cultural and educational work and mission of Pearl S. Bucks International,” Hall said.
Buck, who won both the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, was born in the United States but raised by her missionary parents in China and developed a lifelong interest in promoting cross cultural learning and helping biracial children. Pearl S. Buck International now continues her work and legacy.
