Blessing Pantry at Trinity Church in Seymour to hold Fall Fair Saturday

SEYMOUR - Our Fall Fair at Trinity Church is less than a week away and it's getting exciting! 

We will have crafters, vendors, raffle baskets, White Elephant tag sale, bake sale as well as hot dogs, chili and drinks, so come see us! 

Net proceeds from the baskets, tag and bake sales and food sales will allow us to purchase needed items for the Blessing Pantry to help those most in need in the community. 

Come see us Saturday, Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Trinity Church, 91 Church St. (rain or shine, but we are hoping for shine!).
