Our
Yankee Fair Antiques Drive Big Charity Auction
The Wilton Congregational Church Yankee Fair nets about $20,000 last year from auctions of mostly antique American furnishings. Volunteers, led by Justine Millikan and Dorothy Henderson, restore and sell pieces donated or bought for the event, with proceeds supporting church needs and a reserve for future acquisitions. The two day sale features furniture rooms staged in the church Sunday schools and includes a variety of items from highboys to clocks, quilts, pewter, and rare embroidery. Outside booths add vegetables, plants, handiwork, and pies boosting the fundraiser.
