The Faire has 20-30 great groups of entertainers donating their services on two stages all day long. There are lots of fun kids’ activities and an estimated 20- 40,000 people attending annually. Non-profit groups are welcomed free to provide information, they can pay a vendor fee and are welcome to sell items, and the wonderful food vendors ALL support various non-profit groups. It supports our community by donating money for scholarships to all our high schools and to many other community services.  This event is brought to you with all volunteer labor and lots of love. Volunteers are always needed on the town committee, for set up, the Kid Zone, and clean up.
