Country Fair is our annual fall festival! The first mention of Country Fair dates back to November 17, 1910, where it was referred to as the Annual Bazaar. Over 100 years later, the Academy of the Sacred Heart has transformed this simple bazaar into a fun-filled weekend of festivities.
All are welcome to join us for this fall favorite. We look forward to seeing our Academy families, faculty and staff, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents and friends!
You can’t spell C-O-U-N-T-R-Y without U! Each family must work at least one 2-hour volunteer shift. We cannot host this event without YOU! There is a volunteer spot for everyone. From running a game booth to pouring the perfect draught beer, your participation will help make this fundraiser a success! Click here to volunteer now!
