SUMMARY:Harvest Moon Fair 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our annual fair sale is back on for 2026! \nIf you have any questions that are not answered below\, send a note to fair@firstparish.info \nStay tuned later this fall for updates and more information about how to volunteer! \nFor list of suggested donations and guidelines\, please click here \nIf you’re donating a working PC or Mac (less than 10 years old)\, we need a bit more time to prepare these for sale. Please contact Greg (rar@firstparish.info) early in the fall to arrange a drop off or pickup of your working computer. \nBOOTHS \nHousehold Finds. Our largest booth\, Household Finds is everything that doesn’t fit somewhere else.  Lots of kitchen wares\, including small appliances\, and a solid mass of other bargains. \nToyland.  Games and toys like puzzles\, Legos\, and squirt guns.  In past\, has featured finds like American Girl dolls and indie board games. \nJewelry Box. Rings\, bracelets\, earrings\, brooches\, scarves\, and handbags can all be found in the Jewelry box.  Everything from fun costume jewelry for dress up time at day care to sterling silver and 14K gold.  Come early because the dealers get there fast. \nReboots and Rewinds (electronics).  Computers\, monitors\, stereos\, speakers\, headphones\, keyboards and mice.  Whether it’s a Chromebook for school or an 80W amplifier\, you can find it here for less than anywhere else. \nBook Nook.  Tables and tables of books that will fuel your book group for years to come. \nThe Greenery.  A great selection of indoor and hardy outdoor plants\, pots\, and gardening accessories. \nThe Blue Table.  An unusual tradition started many years ago that draws blue plates\, cups\, vases\, and more from our Attic Treasures.  By far the prettiest table in the sanctuary. \nThe Buttery.  Baked goods are always a hit.  Wrapped for individual sale with a list of ingredients. \nCafe.  Our pop-up cafe always puts together a spectacular meal.  Never the same cuisine twice\, we’ve served spicy-sweet Caribbean\,  Vietnamese Bahn Mi\, and New Orleans muffalettas. \nRaffle.  Year after year our church community pulls together\, by hook or by crook (see what I did there)\, a beautiful quilt that is raffled on Saturday. \nDonations \n
