Fairmont Fall Marketplace is October 20

It's nearly here!

There's still time....

  • Silent Auction Items - ask restaurants and businesses that you frequent for donations or gift cards (tax donation letters for merchants are available in the church office). Questions? Contact Amy Womble, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., 919-906-4391
  • Bake - bread, jams, jellies, cookies, cakes, pies.....
  • Books - Robert Porter is heading up the book sale portion. Purge your bookshelves! Put books on the stage in the youth room. Boxes too heavy for you to carry? You can contact Robert, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and he will arrange to pick them up.
  • Crafts - all you crafty people need to be working on seasonal and other type crafts.
  • Post flyers! You can download the flyer or pick them up from the table at the back of the sanctuary.

If you have craft items or baked goods that you would like to drop off before Saturday, Jean Porter will be at the church from 3-5pm and 6-7pm on Friday.

We still need people to be on hand to be cashiers and for general assistance. We need help getting vendors into the church and set up on Saturday morning starting at 7:30 am.  Let This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. know if you can help.

 Also needed is help with putting out signs on Friday and/or Sat. depending on the weather.

Lastly, if you are unable to do any of the above things, please tell all your friends about the Marketplace! The best way to publicize the Marketplace is by inviting people to come by. That personal touch! Especially promote the sale of pumpkins by the youth and the soup lunch. Homemade soups by Susie Mallard-Barnes and Peggy Davis and Sandra Cox will be featured.
