The caravan of traveling mystics will arrive at Crone’s Hollow again Saturday, April 7th. Our last fair was so much fun! This event has been organized by a true gypsy Rom Baro and will feature the esoteric arts we’ve come to associate with Rom or gypsy culture. These psychics have years of experience and their abilities have been proven. Many of the services at our fair can’t be found anywhere else in Utah and they include crystal ball scrying, tarot, oracle card and past life readings, astrology, pet readings, palmistry, energetic clearings and healing. Our readers were so in demand that we’ve added an extra hour to the fair. Stop by anytime from 12 to 6 PM. The cost for readings is $20 for 20 minutes. Cross the wanderer’s palm with silver and learn what Fate has in store.
