Just a reminder – the Fall Fair is from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The Country Kitchen is requesting donations for baked goods for the Fall Brinkerhoff Fair. Brownies, pies, cakes, cookies, muffins or any other baked items would be appreciated. Cookies, brownies and muffins should be packaged in zip lock bags (maybe 4-6 per bag). Baked goods can be delivered to the Home anytime after 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Friday, September 7th.
Also, we are in need of better buy items. Please contact Nancy Nolan at 528-5087 or Micki Paine at 546-1387 for pick-up.
Enclosed with this newsletter are raffle tickets for the Fair. Tickets are $1 each or six (6) for $5.00. Attendance is not required. Please send tickets stubs and donation to Bill Vetter, 215 South Walnut, Box 65, Buffalo, IL 62515.
The Home will be open to the public during the fair for free tours.
Penny Greek (546-8890) and her committee are looking for those “special” items (antiques, collectibles, china, crystal, etc.) that you might like to donate for the Silent Auction.
Memorabilia will be offered for sale during the Fair. Items offered include cookbooks, ornaments, T-shirts, note cards, tote bags and aprons, featuring a picture of the Home. There are still a few of the limited edition pen and ink prints of the Home done by local artist, Rich Doering.
Also, Sharon Nation would like to thank everyone who worked in the Country Kitchen and all the members who so generously donated such delicious baked goods for the Spring Fair.
NEW MEMBERS
Welcome to new members Ted Williams and Kathy Twyman.
THANK YOU!!!
A special thank you to Pat Porter, former President and avid supporter of the Brinkerhoff Foundation for selling so many cookbooks at the Barrel Antiques where she has a booth. Pat says many tourists who stop by pick up a cookbook and ask questions about the Home. A big high-five to Pat!
