The Country Faire was a day filled with fun, food and beautiful weather.  The rock wall, giant slide, carnival games under the red and white festive tents were a hit.  I know my girls loved the cakewalk and the homemade prizes at the prize booth.  The Silent Auction was fun for all the shoppers too!  I thought the event was a wonderful day for our community. 

A big thank you to all volunteers who helped make this event a huge success, especially the Silent Auction and Country Fair Committees.
