We're especially excited that this year's fair will feature several budding artists and crafters in our first ever Youth Vendor section, open from 10-11:30am.  Stop by to pick up a special treat made by our very own under 12 crowd! 

The 4^th grade class at Greenfield Elementary School has already gotten into the spirit and created special Harvest Fair flags that will be used to decorate the Greenfield Meeting House and grounds on the day of the Fair.  

The Harvest Fair will be held rain or shine from 9am-3pm and admission is free.  All PTO proceeds go directly to benefit the students of Greenfield Elementary School.

And don't forget that the Friends of the Library book and yard sale will be held on the Library grounds to coincide with the Harvest Fair!  Local businesses The Riverhouse Cafe, Envisage Nail Spa & Boutique, and Forget Me Not Antiques and Collectibles are also getting into the act, from providing music on the day to donating a percentage of their daily revenues to the Greenfield Elementary School PTO.

Be sure to come by Saturday and check it out!
