The works of local writers and artists were featured Saturday in the Historical Society of Rockland County's first Rockland Authors and Illustrators Book Fair in New City.

The event, a fundraiser for the historical society, included visits by Rockland County writers and artists and their books and CDs were available for sale — with part of the proceeds benefitting the society.

Included in the event were:

— Rockland's new county historian Craig Long.
