Congregational Church of Brookfield Says “CELEBRATE AUTUMN” at the Annual Yankee Fair and Barn Sale

The Congregational Church of Brookfield invites everyone to enjoy a Brookfield and New England tradition by celebrating autumn with its annual Yankee Fair and Barn Sale, Saturday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The big red barn next to the church opens at 8 a.m. for early birds.

“Celebrate Autumn” by exploring dozens of booths filled with handmade crafts, quilts, knitted items, baked goods, plants, seasonal décor and gifts as well as plants and books.

Browse and bid on silent auction items while listening to live music or enjoying food from the outdoor Barbecue Grill, the Bakery and Coffee Shop or a quiet lunch at the White Steeple Inn with table service and pumpkin chiffon pie. 

Explore the barn for gently used treasures, including antiques and furniture, home goods, bicycles, electronics and treasures galore. The former parsonage is full of gently used clothes and toys. Children will love the face painting and balloon animals.

Admission and parking for the Yankee Fair are free. Proceeds support church programs and charities such as the Refugee Resettlement Ministry for families who have escaped from wars.

The Congregational Church of Brookfield is at the crossroads of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center. For more information, call 203-775-1259.
