Holly Berry Fair !
Saturday, November 19, 2011, 10 AM to 2 PM

The Holly Berry Fair is a major annual event at our church!  The Saturday before Thanksgiving brings the culmination of year-long activities and preparations.  The church is decorated in Christmas colors with holly and pine sprigs and colorful signs leading to the many assorted theme rooms.  There is shopping for baked goodies, jewelry, and lots of handcrafted items.  There are various children's activities, and, of course, Santa!  Take a break at the café or enjoy a great hot lunch to fuel up for the main event: our three-room, immense Silent Auction.

Proceeds from past Fairs have been used to support these charities and organizations.

The chair of the Holly Berry Fair in 2011 is Laura Parsons,
