Community Events
           The Shandon Congregational Church has something BIG happening just about every time of the year.  Below you'll see a list of our main community events, followed by a brief description.  

🌨️ WINTER: Christmas in the Country 🎄 
Christmas in the Country is our annual community celebration of the most wonderful time of the year! In our community house, we host vendors, offer food and beverages, and play festive music that will keep you warm and jolly for ours.  Outside, you will find horse carriage rides and an historic village filled with all the Christmas cheer you'll ever need to make it through the holidays.

🌸 SPRING: Lenten Soup Suppers 🙏
           Every Wednesday through the season of Lent, we offer free soup and bread to anyone who will stop by, and we enjoy a short devotional by Rev. Bailey to fill our spiritual hunger, as well.

☀️ SUMMER: Strawberry Festival 🍓
           Perhaps our largest event of the year, the Strawberry Festival has been going on for a century.  We offer food and beverages in the Community House, along with our famous homemade ice cream and strawberry shortcake dessert.  Outside you will find the village hopping with live music, vendors of all kinds, tractor parades, and, that's right, strawberries!  See below to sign up if you're interested in being a vendor.

🍂 FALL: Harvest Auction 🎃
           Every October, we usher the harvest season in with an old time-style auction.  We sell baked goods, harvested vegetables, gourds of all kinds, and homemade crafts.  All the proceeds go to charity, and we also offer intermission refreshments.
