STATE FAIR & CREATIVE ART FAIR
 
As we wind the summer down and come back to get ready for school and work it's time to be thinking about your entry into the St. Clement's State Fair and Creative Arts event on SUN AUG 29.  Gather your canned goods, baked goods, sewing, quilts, animals, and especially your art made from recycled or discarded items to show in the third annual State Fair Sunday!  Set up for the event will be on SAT AUG 28, and the State Fair will be "open" all morning on the 29th.  Do you make costumes, birdhouses, corn art, or watercolors?  What about strawberry jam, lemon curd, cookies, biscuits, or pies?  Are you a flower arranger, scrapbooker, or photographer?  This is a chance to show your friends and fellow parishioners your "artful" side and have a great time doing so.  Entries from all ages are welcome.  We will continue the day with a Parish Picnic in the afternoon, complete with a Hmong-style barbecued pig, and potluck side dishes.  Games and activities will start on the Green at 3:00 PM.  The State Fair Sunday and Art Show is sponsored by the Power Grant committee, and is our final Power Grant event.
