Asbury UMC Vendor Fair and Family Day

Come to this family friendly vendor fair. We will have shopping, kids activities, free health screenings, and free prize drawings too!

Asbury United Methodist Church, located at 455 Old Main Street in Asbury, NJ is proud to announce that they have partnered with a major local community service organization and will hold their third annual Vendor Fair and Family Day at Mansfield Lodge #36, 275 Rt. 31 N. Washington, NJ. The event will run from 10 am to 4 pm. One Hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the church’s major capital improvements project which includes construction of a much needed handicap access ramp to bring this iconic, historic building into compliance with current laws. The event will include a vendor show, and visitors to the event can browse their choice of over 20 craftsman, including woodworkers, portrait artists, home-based businesses, and local community organizations such as the Warren County Health Department.

The event will also feature a book signing and show by local author Loren Spiotta DiMare whose book, Beyond the Finish Line, showcases the success stories of several racehorses who found successful careers after the race track in Dressage and other equine related disciplines. She will be signing any books purchased at the event. In addition, the Warren County Health Department will be having an awareness program for visitors to the event with free health screenings that include heart disease risk assessment and free blood pressure screenings. The host organization, Asbury United Methodist Church, will have a table with children’s crafts which can be purchased and done at home or there on site, and the local vendors of Jamberry Nails, and Mary Kay Cosmetics will feature special activities for teens and adults at their tables.

The event is free for all to attend and is family friendly. There will be free door prize drawings every hour and each visitor will get a free ticket to enter the drawings. Prizes include restaurant gift cards, crafts, clothing by LuLaRoe, free evening activities at local businesses such as Rack and Roll Billards on Rt. 31 in Washington, and many more. So come join us for family fun, shopping, and a chance to go home with a free door prize too.
