162nd Annual St. David's Episcopal Church Fair and Country Auction Saturday

St. David's Episcopal Church of Radnor will be hosting the 162nd St. David’s Church Fair and Country Auction on Saturday, October 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

The event is one of the longest standing fairs in the country and its proceeds benefit St. David’s Partners in Ministry, which include nearly 40 local organizations and the Church’s international partners in Uganda, Guatemala, and Haiti.

Each year the fair draws crowds of more than 4,000 people from the church and its surrounding communities. Fairgoers enjoy its charming attractions and family fun for all ages, with festivities held rain or shine. For the kids, there's a variety of Midway games and inflatable rides, as well as a train ride, pony rides, a rock wall, face painting, pumpkin decorating, scarecrow making and more. Children of all ages will include the Fair’s tasty treats, including lunch from McDavid's Grill, old-fashioned lemon sticks, candy apples and homemade baked goods.  

The Fair's popular flea market, book, toy and sports tents are not to be missed, as well as the Second Hand Rose high-end resale clothing shop. The live Country Auction features an exciting day filled with bidding on a unique assortment of antiques, collectibles, furniture and art. All auction items will be available for preview at 8:30 a.m. on October 5. The live auction will begin at 10:30 a.m.

Fair admission is $2 for adults and children (children under four are free), with a maximum cost of $10 per family. Active duty Military (with ID) and their families are admitted for free.

In 2012, the St. David’s Fair hosted families from the St. James School in Philadelphia, one of the Church’s partners in ministry. As a result of money raised at the Fair, St. David’s Church awarded the St. James School with funds to help build their 7th grade classroom. In addition, Fair booths including Second Hand Rose, the popular resale clothing shop as well as House of David with exclusive high-end designer clothing , donated their goods to local charities and families in need. Past donation recipients have included Cradles to Crayons, the Neighborhood League of Wayne, Purple Heart, Goodwill, and more.
