TAHA made a big leap of faith in 2004 when they decided to hold a Healing Arts Fair in Trinity County. They booked the Veteran's Hall in Weaverville for a Saturday early in October and began to plan the event by advertising with press releases and forming food, decorating and music committees. The fair would be their coming out party to the community and would also act as a fundraiser. The food committee acquired large cooking utensils and prepared selections of harvest soups, breads, and desserts. Music director John Garrett chose various relaxing new age type CDs to play throughout the day. Vendors were recruited from both members and outside practitioners to present health, healing, and metaphysical products and services to the public. Colorful decorations were strung and hung from the ceiling and walls to add a flair of festiveness. And then the morning came! The visitors to the fair began to trickle in. TAHA members were a little concerned that the attendance might be small. By noon the hall had filled with a nice steady stream of people and they seemed to linger in the hypnotic relaxing ambience of the fair's energy. The homemade soups completely sold out by mid afternoon and by day's end it was agreed by all that the fair had been a fantastic success. The Healing Arts Fair was repeated in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and in each year there has been a terrific turnout.
