Fall Fair Preparation has begun and activity is starting to build in preparation for the fair. The first semi-trailer has been parked in the Parish House parking lot. Thank you to John Lee Machen and Mobjack Nurseries for loaning these two trailers, which are saving us much in rental fees. Items for sale are coming in and calls are being received asking for pick-up arrangements. Fall Fair donation receipts are available for tax purposes. Some are in the trailer and the chairmen will have more—just ask. Fall Fair is our big money raiser for our outreach programs. It is the major activity for the year and has generated between $17,000 and $35,000 net over the past several years. It not only generates money, but it involves most everyone in the congregation.
Please contact the office or check the Crier to see how you can get involved!
Our schedule for Fall Fair Week:
Tuesday, Oct. 16: Tents set up outside and great room of Parish House set up.
Wednesday, Oct. 17: Meet at 8:30 AM to unload storage units
Thursday/Friday (18/19): sort and arrange booths
Saturday, Oct. 20: Fair Day, 9 AM to 2 PM.
We will need help after the fair cleaning up everything that is left behind and putting away risers and tables. Please bring your donations in by Friday morning, October 19th. On Friday also bring in all of your food donations for Country Kitchen and Gourmet Booth. If you haven’t been to the Fall Fair before, or if you have been but aren’t sure how to plug yourself in, please contact us and we will help you find your niche. “Many hands make light work,” and the week of Fall Fair is a great time for making new friends and strengthening the old.
