Sugar Loaf United Methodist Church holds 91st annual fair

Sugar Loaf — The Sugar Loaf United Methodist Church will hold its 91st Annual Church Fair on Saturday, Sept. 8. The fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the historic Greek revival church on Kings Highway. In past years, the line of fair-goers has stretched out to the highway as people eagerly wait to check out the bargains in the white elephant booth, buy a delicious pie, or purchase a hand woven rug. Food is the main attraction for many of those attending the fair and this year will offer something for everyone’s taste. There will be hundreds of delicious pies along with home-baked breads, cakes, and cookies. Another booth will offer homemade candy, jams and jellies, doggie treats, and gifts in a jar. Hamburgers, hotdogs, wraps, and taco salad will be available for lunch at the snack bar. The Church has a very active and dedicated group of crafters who work throughout the year making each of the items for sale at the fair. Old-fashioned fancywork will include quilts, hand knit sweaters, American Girl doll clothes, baby items, and rag rugs. There will be a nice selection of Christmas and Halloween decorations, toys for children, and items for home and garden. The white elephant booth is sure to offer lots of “treasures” for very little money. There will also be produce, plants, and mums for sale. Entertainment will be provided by the Penny Loafer Band from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Items for sale are handcrafted, homegrown, and homemade by members and friends of Sugar Loaf United Methodist Church and all proceeds support the ministries of the church.
