Help Spread the Word about East Village Fair!
Host a Yard Sign!
The planning for the East Village Fair is in full swing, and the event committee is hard at work organizing all of the details. We want to start spreading the word about our Fall festival, and encourage our neighbors and the larger community to join us for this longstanding tradition. To help get the word out about this fun-filled event, we’ve created YARD SIGNS that Follenites can display on their front lawn. If you live in Lexington or one of the surrounding towns, have a lawn, and feel like you get some foot–or car–traffic, we would invite you to host a yard sign! Signs will be available outside Linda’s office throughout the week and on Sundays in the Sanctuary vestibule. If you are interested in getting more involved in the East Village Fair as a volunteer or section leader, please email evf@follen.org.
