St. Stephen’s is celebrating its 110th year of faith and service in our community, and has pulled out all the stops to make this year’s Fall Fair and Carnival an event not to be missed. The Fall Fair and Children’s Carnival will be held on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is free.
Kids of all ages will enjoy the petting zoo, pony rides, and the children’s carnival with games and prizes. In the parish hall there are handmade crafts and homemade baked goods, fudge and candy. Check out the boutique booth for “giftable” china, silver and collectibles as well as jewelry. And of course, at Trash & Treasure, you’ll find all sorts of housewares, gently used infant and children’s wear, home decor items, small electronics and more. Just in time for the holidays, you can pick up a beautiful holiday plant.
A highlight of the fair is the St. Stephen’s Quilt Raffle. This year’s quilt is entitled “Flight” and is a king-size creation in beautiful blue hues. The St. Stephen’s quilting group has lovingly sewed it by hand, a process that takes hundreds of hours. This is a marquee tradition that has been going on annually for more than 40 years.
A scrumptious lunch will be served, which will include a kids’ menu, cooked by Executive Chef and St. Stephen’s member Matt Blass.
St. Stephen’s Church is located at 9 Carlton Ave., across from the library.
