St. Joseph’s 17th Annual Country is Saturday, October 15th – mark your calendars and don’t miss the fun!
The fair has a little something for everyone. Local crafters tents will decorate our beautiful and historic grounds and children’s games, moon bounce and pony rides will also be available outdoors. Delicious fair food will be served out of the kitchen for you to enjoy while watching great entertainment on stage in the parish hall. The Country Store will be full of great gift and food items made by our talented families and is the perfect place to get a jump on your holiday shopping and entertaining needs. Many committees and families in the parish will fill baskets for the much anticipated raffle. Grandma’s Attic (although located in the basement of the church) is a treasure trove and a bargain hunters dream.
Even if you think you know the Fair – think again. This year’s committee is busy planning some new areas and upping the ante on the fair staples we have all come to love. Stay tuned for announcements!
So – What can you do to help?
This year’s proceeds will benefit the Capital Campaign for our new church and now is the time for all parishioners to rally and do something.
Join a committee. (Contact information online on our website and in the bulletin)
Buy or sell the 50/50 tickets when they are mailed to your home.
Sign up to work at the fair, set up beforehand or clean up afterwards.
Parents – this is a great opportunity to teach by example and have your children begin their community service careers under your supervision.
Help us spread the word and encourage others to attend – and make sure to personally invite friends and family.
