DEAR SUN SPOTS: The First Congregational Church of South Paris, 17 E. Main St. will hold its annual Christmas Fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18. Popovers will be served from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Our food tables will be filled with great baked goods including cookies, pies and breads, plus baked beans, homemade vanilla, and interesting other types of homemade items. The cheese wheel is waiting to be sliced, the chocolates are boxed. Wreaths and Christmas baskets will be ready. Our crafts table will be filled with some regular and some new items, a specially designed and priced for kids jewelry table for children to shop for the special women in their lives: moms, grandmothers, teachers, etc. The jewelry is all boxed and ready for wrapping. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., after you have shopped, enjoy a cup of fish chowder or chicken soup, dessert included. Last year our wreaths sold out, so get here early. We hope you will join us and bring your children to enjoy shopping. — No name, no town

ANSWER: What a great idea to offer things priced for children. We hope you have a great turnout.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: A few days ago, you had an item about the American Legion in Rumford honoring women veterans. They were looking for donations. I have something to donate, however there was no phone number, email or person to contact. Please help. Thank you. — No name, no town
