NEED YOUR HELP TO POP A CORK FOR ST. PAUL’S
On July 9, we will again hold our annual event, The Festival on Fair, which will reunite our year-round and seasonal members of St. Paul’s for a fun evening of fellowship, food and the opportunity to bid on items in our (better than ever) Silent Auction and shop at the Gift Chalet before its opening to the public at the Fair on July 11.
Last year, with the help of many of you, we initiated POP A CORK at the Festival – for a $20 donation, you can pull a numbered cork from a basket and win the bottle of wine with the corresponding number – some are red, some are white, some good, some are great, some are world class – you will get something to take home but you don’t know what.
We are asking for donations of wines and sparkling wines to stock this event - your personal favorite, something special from you cellar or something extra special which will put this event over the top. In order to make sure everyone goes home happy, we ask that the donated bottle have a suggested minimum retail value of $25.
Wines may be dropped off at the office in the Parish House.
Your invitation to the Festival on Fair will follow but
SAVE THE DATE – July 9 – and the Fair date – July 11.
Don’t forget we still need donations of antiques, china, silver, art and crystal items – a/k/a “The good stuff”- for our ever popular Gift Chalet at the Fair. Save gas – drop them off at the Parish House with your wine.
