Olde Redding Faire – A Reading Tradition since 1957!
Saturday, September 27, 10am-2pm at 25 Woburn Street
Reading, MA — Come join the fun, celebrating the original Reading Fall Faire. There will be all the past favorites plus exciting new items.
- Your first stop might be the Bake Table, since they typically sell out by the end for the Faire! Choose from lovingly made cookies and bars, cakes and pies, breads and sweets.
- The Farm Stand will feature an expanded offering of cider donuts, mums, notecards, decorative pumpkins, catnip mice, lavender sachets, candles, and jams. And they have offered to hold your mums while you enjoy the rest of the Faire.
- Visit the Puzzles tent for the best prices on a wide selection of jigsaw puzzles. There will be options for all skill levels.
- Faire Food will provide a great lunch or snack. Pulled pork, coleslaw, mac & cheese, hot dogs, fried dough, popcorn, and more!
- Have fun in the Kids’ Game area. We will have games of skill and some just for fun!
- Want to freshen your style? Check out the great assortment in our Jewelry Room.
- The Book Room will have everything from children’s books to vintage editions, all at fantastic prices. Pick out old favorites or take the opportunity to expand your library.
- The Silent Auction items will all be on display during the Faire. Come down and place your bids. (Online bidding closes at 4pm.)
- Professional artist A.J. Jerrett will be drawing Caricatures for free so you can take home a one-of-a-kind memento!
- The Reading Community Concert Band will perform at 11am on the lawn, if the weather allows, or indoors if not. Enjoy these talented musicians while you stroll the Faire.
Faire income not only supports the mission and ministry of the First Congregational Church, but also local non-profits. This year, we will be sharing with the Reading Food Pantry; come down and talk to a representative. In addition, we are proud to sponsor the introduction of a new venture: Creative Chaos. This organization aims to recycle arts and crafts supplies, making them more affordable and keeping them out of the trash. They will have a table at the Faire, so come and talk
Donations are welcomed and help support the Faire. Make sure everything is in sellable, safe condition. Jewelry may be dropped off in the church office Monday-Thursday between 11am and 1pm. Books and Puzzles may be dropped off in the hallway just past the church office, Monday – Friday, between 10am – 7pm. Questions: OldeReddingFaire@gmail.com
