The Sandwich Fair is right around the corner...Oct. 7-9

Stephanie Goddard writes: It’s time for the Sandwich Fair! Such a fun time is the fair. You can enter your work of art, home grown vegetables, or home baked goods for a chance at a blue ribbon. Or visit the steers, goats and sheep. Lots of fun activities too: A children’s pedal tractor pull, Women’s Skillet Toss, Gentlemen’s Keg Toss, even a Lego competition! All with a backdrop of a small country town, and lovely autumn foliage. Hope to see you at the Fair!

The Sandwich Fair Natural Fiber Arts Department invites all fiber artists to exhibit their beautiful handcrafted items made with natural fibers, such as wool, cotton, linen, angora, silk and alpaca, at the Fair during Columbus Day weekend. Bring your entries to the Hodge Building at the Sandwich Fair Grounds between 4:00 and 7:30 pm on Friday October 6.
