This is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the Sudbury Companies of Militia & Minute - come help us keep history alive as we celebrate a half century of service.  Admission is $2 and children younger than 12 are free.  The Faire goes on rain or shine.

2. Twillingate Farm Alpacas will be hosting its annual Open House Sept. 28-29 at 10 a.m. The Farm will be open to the public for tours and educational discussions about alpacas. It's a great opportunity to meet & interact with the alpacas and maybe even see a birth. There are five cria due over the next two months. The alpacas are growing their fleece for the winter. Come and learn about fiber arts including spinning, felting, & knitting with their luxurious fleece.

3. Noyes Elementary School is partnering with Cradles to Crayons to collect new and like-new essential children's items that will help children living in homeless or low-income situations have the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. Cradles to Crayons supplies these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need.

Clean out your closets and join us at the Noyes School Annual Fall Carnival.
