Quickly approaching is our United Methodist Women’s Annual Christmas Fair. We invite you to stop in and browse through our Granny’s Attic rooms, our handcrafted items, our hand knit & crochet room, and especially our bake sale tables. And while you’re at it, enjoy a hearty lunch in our Christmas Cafe. Details on the flyer below. Funds raised from the profits of this fair will be used to support local community needs, such as Project Graduation at Regional #7 and Gilbert Schools, Barkhamsted Cookie Jar, Community Food Bank, Greenwoods Scholarship Foundation, Susan B. Anthony Project, and Warm The Children, among others.
