10:00 – 2:00 pm

The Kris Kringle Fair is UUCR’s biggest fellowship event and fundraiser of the year. When the fair comes around each year, everyone at UUCR organizes, donates, bakes, cooks, sings, plays music, greets, staffs tables, or shops – working side by side to make this daylong fair a much-anticipated and enjoyed event for the church, for Reading, and for surrounding communities. In 2020, a small group of dedicated volunteers made our pandemic year online fair a great success. This year, we are proud to announce we are able to bring a new, hybrid version of the fair back to UUCR – with both online and in-person, outdoor sections of our fair!

Fair Favorites

Our in-person, outdoor booths will include our Country Store, Baked Goods, Boutique, Coffee and Chocolate, Raffles, Toys, and Attic Treasures! Our online stores will include Jewelry, Silent Auction, Coffee and Chocolate and more!

Raffle Quilt: Each year the UUCR Quilters design and create a quilt for auction at the fair.

Donations

Donations will be accepted beginning on Sunday, October 17th from 2 – 4 pm.

Additional drop off times will be published in upcoming newsletters.

A list of Acceptable Donations for 2021 will be in the Sept. 23rd newsletter.
