Episcopal church plans Canterbury Faire
St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church invites the community to its seventh annual Canterbury Arts & Crafts Faire set for 9 a.m. to 4:30.m. Oct. 7 at the church, 14700 N May.
Visitors will be able to browse and purchase from a variety of local artisans and merchants offering local art and fine crafts that include paintings, handcrafted silver jewelry, molded clay works, recycled art, coffee, chocolate and silk scarves.
The church women’s Ye Olde Bake Shoppe will be selling baked goods including cookies, fresh breads, special cakes and an assortment of homemade pies and mini-pies. New this year will be wine sampling and jams offered by a local winery. Hamburgers and gourmet hot dogs will be served in the food tent by the men of St. Augustine’s Brotherhood of St. Lawrence. A bagpiper and characters dressed in Renaissance costumes set the stage for the jousting exhibition scheduled at noon and 2 p.m. on the church’s east side.
“The whole event has a medieval twist as visitors can step back in time while the Knights of Canterbury and their horses compete in jousting competitions,” said Judy Moon, event coordinator. “Children and adults alike will enjoy the knights who ride on real-life horses performing presentations of medieval pageantry.”
She said the church’s youth group will be selling pansies to fund its activities and mission trip. Food sales will benefit the church.
