105th SUMMER FAIR RETURNS AUG. 3 AT FIRST CHURCH IN JAFFREY 

For more than 100 years, the First Church in Jaffrey has welcomed the Monadnock community to its annual Summer Fair. Naturally the festivities have changed over time, but the purpose remains the same – to offer wonderful food, activities just for children, and a unique opportunity for families and visitors to walk and talk while browsing for treasures at bargain prices. Funds raised help support more than one dozen local social service organizations and scholarships for Conant HS graduates.

Eve and Gordon provide family-friendly songs from 2 - 2:45.

The 105th Fair this year falls on Wednesday, August 3, from 1 to 4. Deluxe bag lunches will be available at 12:30. A snack bar located on the corner of the Meetinghouse offers hot dogs and sodas also opens at 12:30. Admission is free, parking is ample, and places to sit are scattered around the Common and First Church buildings.

The Fair features something for everyone! The venues include antiques and collectibles in the Meetinghouse, along with “white elephants.” You will find a garden center on the Common and fine art in the church sanctuary. Vintage and decorative linens, as well as tools and small electronics are sited near the Meetinghouse. The Bakery and the bag lunches can be found in the church parish house.
