May Faire 2024: A Rural Life

May 4, 2024

  • « A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder
  • Bids for Kids Annual Spring Auction Fundraiser »

May Faire 2024: A Rural Life, will explore our county’s history—farming fishing and families—from the past to the present, in a County Fair atmosphere! This year’s May Faire children’s corner will be hosted by the local Kiwanis Club and will feature a midway of games with electric basketball, rubber duckies, hatching baby chickens brought to us by CA & J Farm, a petting zoo area, a Hungarian pig and an archaeological dig sponsored by Fairfield Foundation.

Inside the Museum there will be special exhibits relative to Mathews’ history, a quilt and juried crafts, jams and jellies judging, and outside on the Court Green there will be educational as well as vendor booths.  And music and food all day.  Bring the family and enjoy the day!

NOTE: As May Faire will include jams, jellies, and canned goods judging, we are asking that you set aside some products now, as it is too early in May for these products to be produced.  Thank you!
