First Church Amherst’s beloved Cranberry Fair is almost here! This year’s fair continues with our somewhat-new October timing, and will happen on Saturday, October 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Fair is a thrifter’s delight! It’s also a gold mine for anyone assembling a Halloween costume or simply wanting to connect to a long-standing New England tradition.

Both floors of the church will be filled with bargains on everything from toys, clothing, housewares, books, and antiques to baked goods, games and puzzles, children’s books, and baked goods.

In addition, Fair-goers will be able to bid on gift cards, vacation get-aways, home-baked goods, and services at our Silent Auction.

One new feature at this year’s fair will be raffle baskets for dog lovers, cooks, chocolate lovers, and child artists.

As always, a hearty lunch, plus coffee, tea, and cider, will be offered in the Fair Cafe.

We hope to see you on October 19!
