The Fair Stand is a food stand
run by the Parishioners
of St. Paul during the Sandwich (DeKalb County)
Fair
since 1959. We open on Labor Day. The proceeds
go into the Father
Thomas Kane Memorial Scholarship
Fund and also benefit our parish youth.
The Fair
Stand Board is made up of eleven people from St.
Paul's Parish.
In addition to the President,
Secretary and Treasurer, the board
also consists of:
David Vincent,
Dennis Wetterich,
Kathy
Beltran, Rick Pellegrini,
Jenn
and Carl Key, Mark and Maria Oropeza
Susie Hughes and Geri Henry
Mass at the Fairgrounds
Each year we hold a Mass on Sunday
morning
at the AgLand Stage, near our building on
the fair grounds. Mass
starts at 6:30 AM for all
who are on the grounds and all who care
to come out to this unique outdoor setting.
Tractors pass by and roosters crow and
sometimes we are "blessed" with a cleansing
shower, but we are there, rain or shine!
