Church prepares for return of Fair that started 1906
Volunteers at St. Michael Greek Catholic Church prepared Monday for their Easter Fair’s triumphant return Friday and Saturday.
The fair was founded with the church in 1906 and was not held for two years because of COVID-19, according to David Rehm, a hermit at the parish. The community already has responded by purchasing all of the fair’s presale items.
“People were crying on the phone saying they’re so happy to have us back,” he said.
Kiffels, nut rolls, paska bread, ham haluski and stuffed cabbage are a fraction of what was offered on the presale order sheet provided by the church.
“This is going to be our biggest year yet,” said Father Douglas Lorance of St. Michael.
