The church on Old Mill Road started the tradition in 2008 with only 20 vendors at its 50th anniversary. Proceeds benefit the church’s mission work, which includes re-selling handmade baskets and jewelry from artisans of the Taiti tribe of the Ngambenyi School in Kenya. After re-selling their goods two years ago, the church gave back $600 to the tribe; they are also helping to refurbish the Ngambenyi School in Kenya. The event was co-chaired by Andy De La Cour and Laurie do Carmo and included a bake sale and lunch.
