Hopkins Raspberry Festival - We need YOU!
Marketplace Booth - Sign-up Now!
It is almost that time of year for the highly anticipated Hopkins Raspberry Festival. Much fun was had last year during our inaugural participation in the Marketplace Fair and Grand Day Parade. We are at it again this year and hope you will come along for the ride!
The plan for this year is to participate in the Marketplace Fair with our St David’s Booth . It will all happen on Saturday, July 19th from 9 am until 4 pm. We will have an opportunity to faithfully innovate, living into our mission by participating in some radical hospitality with our neighbors. Once again, we will be offering up a place for rest, refreshment, and renewal for all fair goers traveling along Hopkins Mainstreet.
What will we have in our booth?
- Chairs to rest, and spritzer fans to cool off.
- Free Raspberry infused water and plain water for refreshment.
- A Gratitude activity for all ages to participate
- A furry friend station with water and yummy dog treats
- St David’s Information and conversation starters available for all booth workers
- Affirmation/Pride stickers available to all fairgoers
- Street chalk for all budding artists of any age!
- Parishioners, hopefully you, who will be a very important part of the booth…listening, getting to know our neighbors, being present, faithfully innovating!
We hope many will participate in this fun summer activity by working a “fly-by” 2-hour shift, including set up and take down opportunities. Sign up now in the Narthex on the clipboard provided next to the big Raspberry Festival poster.
Come along and live into St. David’s vision and mission. Questions, please contact me, Diane Curley, in person in the Narthex after church, or via email at dsbkncurley@gmail.com

Deepen your literacy in reading both Creation and Scripture for revelations of God's generous love. Click here to learn more about growing with Good Courage Farm in 2025 - spiritually and literally.
