Catasauqua church holds spring fair

Every spring before the daffodils get to full bloom, Presbyterian Church of Catasauqua holds its semiannual craft/vendor fair at its annex on Pine Street. This year’s fair, held April 6, was another successful venture.

In addition to the vendors, a selling point of the event is the breakfast. The consensus among the attendees is that you have to eat while checking out the tables. The kitchen is an all-male crew.

“It’s like a man cave, but we put out a good breakfast,” said Bob Richelderfer, kitchen team captain.

The event ran 9 a.m.-2 p.m., with local residents enjoying bargains on a variety of different items.

Michele Hazzard, of North Catasauqua, had her Taste of Country display.

“My mother still makes most of the items,” she said.

She also gave a good description of the difference between jam and jelly. For the record, jelly is made with juice from the fruit, while jam has more fiber. Yes, you can get popular organic standards, but the specialties are flavors like pineapple orange marmalade or mango lemon drop. You can order from Hazzard anytime.

The back room had a bake sale that was quickly vanishing during the first hour into the day.

The fall event is in October and covers two days. Be ready!
