Our largest fundraiser – lots of fun – AND a great way to meet others! There are many ways to help, tasks of varying time commitments – both during the week(s) before the fair and on Fair Day!

If you have questions about any area, stop by and talk to us during coffee hour following Sunday services, email the Team Leader (see links in the descriptions below) or Red Bow Fair Chairs. They will provide an answer or redirect you to someone who can!
