Auxiliary Happenings
53RD ANNUAL FAIR DAY FAST APPROACHING! Saturday, August 2 will be here before we know it! Mark your calendar now, so that you don’t miss what has been called "One Of Vermont’s Top Ten Events." We have plenty of clothing donations, but we need help sorting and hanging during the week before Fair Day; just come to Leland & Gray any day the week before Fair Day to help out. If you have book donations please call 365-7278 to reach Julie Lavorgna, book booth chairperson, but please note that encyclopedias, textbooks, Readers Digest Condensed, magazines, and books in poor condition are not accepted. Julie also needs help 9-3 daily during the week before Fair Day, at the high school. (Thank you, Leland and Gray, for the donation of space). If you have items to donate for the Auction, call Stan Holt at 365-4455 to arrange pick-up. "Great Scot" is our Fair Day magician this year. The Westchester Firefighters Pipes & Drums will again lead the Birthday Parade, which begins promptly at 10 a.m. on the Townshend Common. Thanks to Bea Fisher of Grafton, who came up with the Fair Day slogan at Super Supper back in February, this year’s Fair Day T-shirts will read "Grace Cottage: Our Door Is Always Open". No matter what your talents, you can be assured that there is a volunteer position just exactly right for you at Fair Day. Whether it be directing traffic, driving a van, selling raffle tickets, flipping burgers or carrying auction items, there’s something for everyone who wants to help, and any hours you can contribute are greatly appreciated. Call Stan Holt at 365-4455 for more information. Last year, the Auxiliary donated $40,000 to Grace Cottage - badly needed funds to help keep our rural hospital healthy. Let’s try to top that this year...with your help, we can do it. If you prefer not to volunteer, come to Fair Day, bring your friends and family and, as Doctor Otis used to say, Spend freely!. |
