FallFare
On Saturday, October 1, 2022, Nashville United Methodist Church will host its 50 th FallFare event on the Village Green, at the corner of Main and Jefferson streets in downtown Nashville. The hours are from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.— rain or shine.
This year’ s event features 12 booths, each selling items made and collected by church members. The annual fundraising event for the church’ s outreach typically raises more than $ 10,000 to provide financial support for mission efforts.
The first FallFare occurred in 1972 when a group of church members decided to sell craft items to replace the church pews. The tradition grew and continued every October. Even during COVID in 2020, FallFare raised $ 11,000 with virtual sales.
The theme for Fallfare is“ Every FallFare dollar goes to someone in need” and the effort supports 25-30 local, state, and international organizations. Local groups include Mother’ s Cupboard, Habitat for Humanity, Access Brown County, Scouts, God’ s Grace, Weekend Backpack Program, and Turning Point Domestic Violence Services among others. FallFare also supports the Lebanon Children’ s Home, UMCOR Disaster Relief, and Mission Guatamala.
Highlights at this year’ s FallFare include:
