Grace Harvest Bazaar and Country Fair
|
The Country Girl would like to invite you to come to the Grace Harvest Bazaar and Country Fair. It's at Grace UMC on Saturday, October 18th from 8:30a - 2:00p.
Your first stop will be the Coffee Shop for Coffee and Sweet Rolls. Then at 9:00 you can browse the Country Store for craft items and homemade goodies. After that, make your way to Fellowship Hall and the Country Fair where you'll find games, activities and munchies for adults and children. At 11:30 you'll lunch on Sloppy Joes and Soup. By this time you'll probably be pretty full, but on your way out of the church, don't forget to stop by the Cookie Booth on the Mulberry Street landing for a box of cookies to take home with you. The Country Girl wants to remind you that all proceeds go to local missions so you won't want to miss out on the fun and food, but you'll also know that it's all for a good cause. See you there!
