Farmington Fair turkey supper still on the menu

FARMINGTON — In early July, the 180th edition of the Farmington Fair was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, one of its traditions will continue on this year due to dedicated parishioners at St. Joseph Parish.

The Farmington Fair turkey supper will be held Saturday, Sept. 26, in the parish hall of the church, 133 Middle St. All are invited. Tickets are $10, with several options to support the supper — an event that serves as the parish’s largest fundraiser of the year.

“In-person dining will be offered at 5 and 6 p.m., and take-out meals will be available for pick up at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.,” said Fr. Paul Dumais, parish pastor. “This has become a popular meal and our wonderful parishioners that coordinate the supper came up with this idea to allow the tradition to continue. The date of the meal actually coincides with what would have been the last day of the fair.”

To reserve a seat or order a take-out meal, visit stjoefarmington.weshareonline.org.

In addition to participating in the supper, donation boxes for food items will be set up at parish Masses, with organizers looking for particular help on each weekend leading up to the event (turkey gravy on Sept. 13 and green beans on Sept. 20). Turkey donations will also be accepted, and volunteers are needed to help prepare, pack and serve meals. Those who can assist should call Dennis at 207-500-0245.
