Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 27 to attend the annual fundraising fair at St. Giles Episcopal Church in Jefferson. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the church grounds under the tall pine trees at 72 Gardiner Road in Jefferson.

It will be a fun day with many activities planned, including for the second year a sale of treasured items, donated by parishioners and others. These include glassware, a child’s rocking horse, a stroller, art work and much more. In addition, the church will have its traditional country cupboard booth, its famous pie sale, and a large plant sale. Special children’s activities will be hosted by Giles, the church’s very own mouse. All children’s games are free.

There will be two raffles during the fair, one with donations from local merchants and also a separate raffle of a lovely 100 percent cotton queen size quilt made by a generous donor, who hopes it will help the church raise money for its outreach activities.

Parishioners will be offering hot dogs and sausages on the grill. There will be live music throughout the day. In addition, the church is renting tables to all crafters, organizations, or people who may simply want to sell their items. Tables are $25 each or two for $45, and it’s first come first served. Call 207-549- 7872 to make a reservation or email dking1820@aol.com. Please leave your name and number with any message.

Funds from this event are used to support St. Giles and its Outreach Programs, which include the Jefferson Area Community Food Pantry.
