Tips & Advice
- Come on Saturday if you want the farmhouse-style baking or the homemade ham sandwiches, because both are only offered on the first day of the fair.
- Have your kids write a letter to Santa before you go, since Santa's Workshop asks little ones to bring one along.
- Start bidding in the online Silent Auction before the fair, since bidding opens a week ahead and includes cottage getaways and sports memorabilia.
- On Sunday, head downstairs to Copp Hall for lunch from the specialty food vendor, and remember the deli's vegetarian options are available both days.
- Teens who need OSSD community hours can volunteer at the fair as greeters, face painters, deli servers or traffic controllers, and count the time toward their diploma.
