Summer days are long but the season is short – Follen will be hosting the 183rd East Village Fair this October 2! This year’s EVF committee members, Megan Lancaster, Leslie Coney and Chris Farnham (along with the stalwart support crew) have been meeting regularly. We are looking forward to an in-person event this year!

We need volunteers and donations. Here’s how:

Volunteer!
We need you!!! The fair, as you know, runs on volunteers. How are you participating? We need as many people as possible to help in the week leading up to the fair, and on fair day itself. Sign up here. If you have specific questions about volunteering please email evf@follen.org.

Donate to the fair!
There are many ways and items you can donate. Note that donations are collected the week before the sales.

The Plant Sale 
If you plan to donate plants, here’s how: Plant Sale Info.

The Flea Market

Children’s Books

Baked Goods
Do you like to bake? Then we need you!  Please sign up on the volunteer spreadsheet here and contact Sarah Richards to bake items for the fair (this is NOT the sign up for First Chance Friday). All items need to be wrapped and labeled (nuts or not, gluten free, etc). Brownies and other bars should be cut up and wrapped individually. Cookies can go into bags of 3, 6 or 12.
