The three-day fair featured a Silent Auction for various items donated to the parish; homemade jams and jellies; baked goods; used books; used appliances; Christmas decorations; and a Trash and Treasure table consisting of gently used items.
In addition, there was a 50-50 Raffle where $725 was awarded. There was also a Grand Raffle where four $500 cash prizes were awarded. Big ticket items, donated to the parish, were also raffled off. One of these items was a kayak.
The Harvest Fair was very successful and enjoyed by all. Many thanks go out to all the volunteers, donors and patrons!
