North Guilford Old Time Country Fair and Tent Auction

Come One! Come All! 
Come to the 51st North Guilford Country Fair!

Join us in celebrating our local heritage at our
old-fashioned Fair on our historic Meeting House Hill in North Guilford!  It is an easy going, family-friendly “all
day” affair, from 10:00-4:00, and although some activities have nominal ticket

prices, admission is free!  So, make your
way out early and get a good seat for our all day Old Time Tent Auction, good
food and fun!   

We are proud of our North Guilford roots, and every year the
Fair features exhibits that reflect our heritage, from old tractors to the history of our Church.  Come stroll
through our antique quilt exhibit, see Dragonfly Farm's wool spinning demonstration , or tour
the Church and Old North Cemetery!  

Our Old Time Tent
Auction is bigger than ever – our auctioneer is jovial and the bidding
can get exciting! (Donations of antique and gently used furniture and household
items for our Auction are welcome and donors may contact the Church Office to
make arrangements.)

The Fair and Auction have grown over the years but there is
one thing that hasn’t changed -- Our famous Peach Shortcake Luncheon is always a hit!  Local musicians set the tone for a relaxing
day, and you can walk the ground easily, or sit a spell to refresh and chat in
our Fellowship Café.   Also, our Burger
Booth is open all day, and our Corner Pantry features yummy home-made breads,
cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, jams and more that you can take home or eat
here! 

There is plenty for young ones to do! Kids of all ages can
take a ride on Little Toot, and visit with our farm animals. Blending
old-fashioned fun with new, we are expanding this year with more activities for
the three to ten year old set, and for the first time, the Kiddie Korner and Kids’
Crafts, Fun & Games will be hosted by our neighbors, the North
Guilford Nursery School and Melissa Jones School PTO, respectively.  Melissa Jones has installed a beautiful,

Audubon-inspired butterfly habitat garden that we hope will be in bloom for the

Fair!

Good bargains can be found in our White Elephant (home goods), Linen Closet, Jewelry, Toys and Christmas-in-August Markets. Browse the
Book Nook for best seller and old favorites. Our Needles and Threads Sewing
Group has stitched up everything from fleece blankets to baby bibs and table
linens to tote bags that will brighten your home and ease your burdens.  Place a bid in the Silent Auction or on the
Gift Basket Raffle – you don’t have to be there to win!  Our Plant Stand and Antique Tools are always
popular, too!

After the Fair, our neighbor, St. John’s Episcopal Church,
holds their Annual Chicken Barbeque and many of our Fair attendees head over
for the evening repast to recount the day and catch up with friends.

Wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!
