161st St. David's Episcopal Church Fair and Country Auction

St. David's Episcopal Church, located in Wayne, Pa. is proud to announce it will be hosting its 161st Church Fair and Country Auction on Saturday, October 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is one of the longest standing country fairs in the nation and its proceeds benefit St. David’s Outreach Projects in Philadelphia, Norristown, Guatemala and Uganda.

“The fair has become a special way for St. David’s to connect with the community through wholesome entertainment,” says Shari Noteware, Chair of the 161st St. David’s Fair. “Fair proceeds have allowed the church to carry out unique outreach work that positively impacts communities both at home and abroad. This includes feeding local homeless, educating at risk youth in Philadelphia, and supporting our ministry partners in Guatemala and Uganda through the construction of churches, schools and medical facilities.”

Each year this traditional Main Line event draws more than 4,000 people from the church and its surrounding communities. Fairgoers enjoy its charming attractions and family fun for all ages, with festivities held rain or shine.

For the kids, there's a variety of Midway games and inflatable rides, as well as a train ride, pony rides, a rock wall, face painting, pumpkin decorating, scarecrow making and more. The entire family will enjoy lunch from McDavid's grill followed by sweet treats such as lemon sticks, old-fashioned candy apples and homemade baked goods.  Attendees will also find trinkets and treasures at the fair's popular flea market, book, toy and sports tents, as well as the Second Hand Rose high-end resale clothing shop. Not to be missed is the old-fashioned, live Country Auction featuring a unique assortment of antiques, collectibles, furniture and art. All auction items will be available for preview at 8:30 a.m. on October 6. The live auction will begin at 10:30 a.m.
