Are you ready to get social with apple pie again?

There was something essential missing in Grafton last fall, and it’s making its triumphant return on September 26: pie.

That is, church-crafted apple pie and apple crisp, made the way only the cooks at the Congregational Church of Grafton can make it.

Yes. The 42nd annual Harvest Fair and Apple Pie Social, is returning after a COVID-19 hiatus, 11 a.m .– 3 p.m. on the church grounds, at 30 Grafton Common. Admission is free to this family-friendly event, and it is rain or shine.

This year, the fair will offer its famous homemade apple pies and crisps (fresh and frozen), a huge yard sale, lots of amazing raffle baskets, hot dogs, chili and corn chowder, plus live musical performances, including the always popular Kelly Clark Jazz Quartet, Alizone with Alison Balfour and Scott Marshall, plus new this year is IMZ, a new musical group based in Grafton that plays their own modern takes on timeless tunes. Band members are Ian Choi on vocals and keys, Matt Torres on drums, and Zoe Mumford on guitar.

First organized in 1980, this annual event brings together members of the community in fellowship and is a fundraiser for the many missions and charities that the Church supports.
