CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Trinity Episcopal Parish will host its 7th Annual Fall Festival, Saturday, November 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This event will offer “Shopping with a Purpose,” authentic Brunswick Stew, live music, and kids’ activities including a petting zoo and more.
The festival includes four organizations: Ten Thousand Villages, Thistle Farms, Episcopal Relief & Development, and Healthwise Naturopathic Clinic.
Ten Thousand Villages (TTV) offers unique, handmade gifts from around the world including fair trade baskets, jewelry, crafts and other items from international artisans. Ten Thousand Villages strives to improve the livelihood of disadvantaged artisans in 38 countries. Product sales help pay for food, education, healthcare and housing for artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed.
Thistle Farms, based in Nashville, is a social enterprise run by women who have survived lives of prostitution, trafficking, addiction, and life on the streets. These amazing ladies make, by hand, natural body care products. For the seventh year in a row, we are honored to welcome these ladies to our festival. This program supports Magdalene House, a 2-year residential community.
Episcopal Relief & Development is the compassionate response of The Episcopal Church to human suffering in the world.
Their Gift of Life program offers gifts of animals and tools for agriculture which can be purchased in honor or in memory of a loved one. These are gifts that nourish and sustain, provide necessities for better lives, and a foundation for lifelong health. At our Festival they will be offering these items for sale, including a give-a-way to represent the gift purchased in someone else’s name.
Healthwise Naturopathic Clinic will be onsite selling their custom blended teas, essential oil blends and more. Their proceeds will be donated to the ministries supported by Trinity Episcopal Parish.
For kids, there will be a petting zoo, face painting, games, and more. Live music will be provided.
Trinity’s Brunswick Stew, cooked for hours over a burning fire in large iron cauldrons will be for sale by the bowl or the quart. There will also be hot dogs, chips, drinks and treats for sale.
More than 10 silent auction gift baskets and 5 raffle items will be up for grabs. We have over 30 cakes to be given away during our four scheduled Cake Walks.
