Holly, Berries, and Evergreens Needed

Do you have holly, berries and evergreens growing in your yard? The Fair sells bunches at the Fair every year and we sell out! 

You can help by clipping yours tomorrow, November 11 (the day before the Fair) and dropping them on the worktables set up outside the back door of the cathedral. Volunteers will be clipping and arranging into bunches, wrapping and pricing for the Fair. Your help keeps a Fair tradition going and is a great, cost-free way to contribute to the Fair. Thank you so much!
