The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration was full of excitement this year to share the 25th Anniversary of the Country Fair and Art Show.

With sadness, organizers announced that the celebration will be postponed until 2021.

“As we discussed what our options might be, we were acutely aware of those in our community who have lovingly supported this event,” the organizers stated in a release. “The talented artists, the wonderful restaurants, the small businesses we all love, and the many individuals who gave time, talent, and funds. We are so grateful for their support and we will feel the loss of working closely with them this year!”

All funds earned during this event, over $274,000 since 2001, have been returned every year to the organizations who support children and families with needs.

“We plan to make a strong effort to gather funds through contributions and to continue to provide as much support as we can to these organizations who are more important than ever to Sisters Country,” the fair organizers said.
