Save the Date of Saturday, July 27for The First Congregational Church of Marion Annual Summer Fair. This is the fair everyone looks forward to each year! It happens from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Main Street and throughout the whole church campus.
Get an early start searching for Flea Market treasures in the many White Elephant rooms at the Community Center, 144 Front Street at the rear of the parking lot. Next, just up the stairs, head to Penny Pinchers Exchange, the church’s volunteer consignment and thrift shop. You’ll find some amazing bargains here.
The Children’s area is outside the Penny Pinchers’ door, right on Main Street. It’s a delight for all ages with games, crafts, bounce house, dunk tank, putting green, henna painting, and more. Stroll down Main Street to peruse the Book Tables with an array for all ages.
Then check out the Nautical and Sports Tables to find a great selection of boat gear, bikes, sports equipment, tools, and garden items. Donations of boats, quality marine gear, and oars are being sought. Please call the church office at 508-748-1053 or email marionfirstchurch@comcast.net.
In the church yard at 28 Main Street, the steps bloom with plants of all kinds – perennials, vegetables, succulents, hanging pots, and more. At the Silent Auction, place your bid for furniture, antiques, art, gift certificates for goods and services, and special items for your home.
New this year will be a Food Court on the church lawn. Enjoy lunch outside or downstairs in the church. Savor the famous lobster rolls along with hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken salad wraps, sandwiches, and beverages. Call or email the church office (see above) to reserve your lobster roll. Find dessert at the bake table with homemade pies, cakes, cookies, candy, and more from the church’s best cooks.
Parking is available at the Island Wharf public lot (Front Street across from Music Hall) and on streets surrounding the church. Come one, come all!
