CHURCH OF OUR FATHER- HULLS COVE, MAINE 52nd ANNUAL DOWN EAST FAIR SATURDAY, JULY 17th, 2010 THE 52nd DOWN EAST FAIR “We did it, one more time!” Greetings to Our Church Family and Friends of Church of Our Father: Our 52nd
Fair is now history, well sort of, as it takes several weeks to put it
to rest. As we write this morning, we are heading to the Church to load
up Carroll and Gail Leland’s big truck with all the remaining
White Elephants, toys and games that are heading to Goodwill in
Ellsworth. This is a happy day as now the large storage trailer may be
moved, as well as the dumpster and Porta Potty. These are all behind
the scenes arrangements that make our Fair happen each year. President Obama certainly added interest to the planning of our 52nd Fair. First,
we lost one of our policemen, as he was needed to protect the President
and his family staying just two miles from our Fair. All truck and
commercial vehicle traffic was rerouted around Route 3, so that was a
big help to us and quieted things down. We knew one policeman was not
enough, so we tried to hire others from another town. They were all
busy too, protecting the airport! In the end, it was our own Tony Hoff
who saved the day! He used to be a policeman in another life and
stepped up to the plate. On Fair day, he could be found in the middle
of Route 3…a very hot job! Thank you Tony, our hero! We have received many positive emails about our Fair in the last two days. These two are special and we want to share them. Our
friend, Karin Maag writes, “I enjoyed my month in Maine - it was
great to spend time with all my friends at Church of our Father, even
when the time was spent tying tarps to tent frames, putting up and
taking down tables, clambering in and out of basements, under the
trailer, up in the shed, etc. We may have become hot and tired, but the
bonds of friendship and fellowship between the members and friends of
the church shine strongly and continue to impress me.”
The proceeds from the Fair will well exceed $25,000. We have two pianos to sell to add to the Fair proceeds. Wonderful
effort on an extremely hot day! Your Chairmen send the heartiest thanks
to everyone who helped bring the 52nd Down East Fair together. The
ready to help attitude and “just always being there” makes
all the difference in the world. You know who you are and we thank each of you! Blessings on you all. Joanne &
