The craft fair will feature the always popular White Elephant Sale.
The name stems from the type of items often sold, which are often referred to as white elephants. They operate in a manner similar to Salvation Army thrift shops. Church members, neighbors, volunteers, community organizations and friends of the church donate old items which they no longer use, or otherwise no longer care to own. Items are sold at low, low giveaway prices, as many are obsolete or useful to only certain people, and would not otherwise be sold. Donated items include children’s toys and games, dishes, home and kitchen goods, furniture, electronics, records, tapes and CD’s, video games, clothing, Christmas ornaments, antiques, and much more. You never know what you’ll find at the White Elephant Sale.

All funds raised through the event are donated to such worthy causes as: Hosea House, Salvation Army, Parish Kitchen, Red Bird Mission, NKU Wesley Foundation, UMCOR, Matthew 25 Ministries, Grace Ministries, Family Promise (IHN), Ida Spence, and United Methodist Committee on Relief, New Hope and the United Methodist Children’s Home in Versailles, Ky.
