JEFFERSON — St. Giles Episcopal Church is renting tables for its annual fundraising fair on Saturday, July 29. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the church grounds at 72 Gardiner Road.

Planned activities include a sale of treasured items, donated by parishioners and others.

In addition, the church will have its traditional country cupboard booth, a pie sale, and children’s activities area hosted by Giles, the church’s own mouse. All children’s games are free and will include a ring toss, a fishing game, an archaeological “dig” for bones, and a Hobby Horse Derby contest which starts at 11 a.m. Winners of the different jump levels will receive trophies.

There will be two raffles during the fair, one with donations from local merchants and also a separate raffle of a 100 percent cotton queen-size quilt made by a donor, who hopes it will help the church raise money for its outreach activities.

A local food truck will offer lunches and snacks and parishioners will be offering hotdogs and sausages on the grille.

There will be live music throughout the day.

In addition, the church is renting tables to crafters, organizations, or people who may simply want to sell white elephant items.

Rentals cost $25 each or two for $45, and it’s first come, first served. To make a reservation, call 207-549-7872 or  or email dking1820@aol.com. Be sure to leave a name and number with a message.
