OCTOBER 2012
Country Fair

Fall is here ... it's time for a cool mid-day breeze, colorful piles of leaves, the smell of baked goods filling the air, and an exciting fun-filled night at Grace's annual Country Fair!

 

It is an electric night filled with laughter and fun.

Anderson and Southwood come together as one!  

  

You can serve alongside your closest friendwhile you're privy to the latest costume trends.  

 

Live music, affordable food, hay rides, inflatables and carnival booths like we've had in the past;

add the new petting zoo and you'll be having a blast!

 

Many ways to join in are provided for you;

read along and pick out what things you can do.

 

Lend a tailgate tent, donate a cake or some candy.

Run a booth, serve food, or help set up if you're handy. 

 

Most of all don't forget to reach out to your neighbor!

A simple invite could be an eternal endeavor.

 

This all takes place for His name and His glory

Don't let the excitement and fun be the end of the story.

            

We hope to see you at Country Fair on Wednesday, October 31 from 6-8 p.m. in our Southwood Campus parking lot.  For more information or to serve or donate, please email CountryFair@grace-bible.org.
