On Saturday, Nov. 7, the City of Grand Terrace will host its 34th annual Country Fair, bringing the community together for some old-fashioned fun. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lions’ Club Grand Terrace Community Center, vendors who live or work in Grand Terrace will be selling hand-made items and home-grown plants. There will also be a baking contest and chili cook-off. Come sample prize-winning home-cookin’! Food entries will be sold in individual portions after judging is completed at very reasonable prices. Fairgoers will also be able to buy used books from the Friends of the Library sale, with proceeds going toward buying new books and DVDs for check out in the Grand Terrace library. Some of the unique features of this event are handmade quilts and crochet work, various craft items, toys, woodworking, gourd art, home décor, jewelry, and many more one of a kind treasures and Christmas gifts. Visitors will also find home-grown plants and produce, hand-carved walking sticks with intricate details, and much more. A miniature working train display will also be there for the kids young and old to enjoy. Various community organizations will also be on hand to meet with the public and answer questions. They include the Grand Terrace Lions’ Club, Citizens’ Patrol, the local 4-H club, Chamber of Commerce, and Boy Scouts. Currently, the Grand Terrace Historical and Cultural Activities Committee is looking for vendors to participate in this annual event. Anyone 18 or older, who lives, works, or takes classes in Grand Terrace may participate in the fair if they meet the guidelines. Children ages 10 through 17 may participate in the Children's Cookie Contest.
