Tarot card readers, psychics, and vendors of the natural and supernatural crammed into the Port of Burlington building on Saturday (June 27) for the sixth annual Southeast Iowa Metaphysical Fair providing insight that went beyond the naked eye.
Organized by Lydia Gittings, owner of The Broom Closet in Burlington, the fair attracted a hodgepodge of locals and out-of-towners. Some had their fortunes told, while others perused and purchased everything from dreamcatchers to colorful stones and sparkling beads and jewelry.
