If you are a musician, consider joining the fun of the Holiday Fair by volunteering to play seasonal music during the fair for a half hour between 9 am and 3 pm on Saturday, December 6. One of the highlights of last year’s Holiday Fair was the live music in the lobby during this beloved annual event.
The fair organizers are also looking for someone to be in charge of organizing the volunteer bakers who will make Baked Goods for sale. These very popular tables usually offer pies, cookies, candies, and other delicious items for sale. The organizers will help you recruit volunteer bakers and take payments! You only need to receive the baked goods from the volunteers the day before or the day of the Fair, then present and price them.
It’s that time of year again to start thinking about the Holiday Fair! This year’s fair will be on Saturday, December 6th from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Fellowship. All are welcome – UUFC members, friends, and the larger community (including Albany, Adair, Independence, Lebanon, Alsea, and Philomath). This event builds connections between UUFC and the larger community, plus it’s a ton of fun!

The Holiday Fair has been a regular event at the Fellowship for many years, but unfortunately all we have are these three photos from 2017. If you’ve been involved in the Holiday Fair (previously known as the “Holiday Bazaar”) and have any photos, or any stories to tell, please let us know! Until then, enjoy these photos from the Holiday “Bazaar” of 2017.
