Country Fair - Saturday September 8th, 2012
 
Littleton’s Annual Country Fair is held the first Saturday after Labor Day from 10AM-4PM at Fay Park on Foster Street next to the Littleton Fire and Police Stations. The Fair is open to the public and admission is free.
 
Not only is the Country Fair a great fundraiser for the church operating budget, but it is a great day for the FCU family to share our spirit with the community at large.
 
This year the Country Fair features a Silent Auction be sure to check it out.

The Annual Country Fair has been a fixture in the town of Littleton since the 1800’s. The fair was originally organized by the women’s groups within the Unitarian Church as a fundraiser for the church and various charitable organizations. In the early days the fair was held on church property. Many of the events were housed in the horse and buggy stalls that were attached to the church. When the church replaced the carriage stalls with a Sunday school wing the fair moved across the street to beautiful Fay Park. Over the years the fair has expanded from the front lawn of the church to encompassing the entire park end to end.
 
Today, the Country Fair is a fun-packed day for all ages. Special attractions for children include pony rides, puppet shows, face and nail painting, old-fashioned games and contests, and more. Guests will enjoy listening to live music from the Fay Park gazebo and shopping at the various booths. Traditional tables include the Country Store with homemade jellies, jams and crafts, Trash and Treasure, Used-Books, Used-Jewelry, Penny Candy, a Holistic Center, and more.
 
Refreshments, including baked goods and luncheon items will be sold during the day. Proceeds benefit First Church Unitarian with a portion of the proceeds to benefit a local charity.
