DEAR SUN SPOTS: This past January, I submitted a request asking for any Christmas items people were not using and wanted to give to a good cause. We had an overwhelming response from people in Sun Spots Land.
Because of all the wonderful donations, The Fairbanks Union Church at 583 Fairbanks Road in Farmington will again be offering the Christmas decorations sale.
The event is planned for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. We are expecting three rooms of Christmas items, and there will again be a table of new and gently used items for gifting.
We will gladly accept more donations.
Call Celia at 207-778-2420 or Cindy at 207-778-3808 for more information.
Proceeds of the sale to benefit the deacon’s mission and outreach fund.
Thank you for spreading the word. — Cindy, Farmington
ANSWER: I love this unique sale where I have found classic and vintage holiday items. It is a wonderful idea that I hope will be shared in other communities in the future.
