Messiah Lutheran Church will have a yard sale and the residents of Fisherville are also invited to have yard sales that day. Craft vendors are welcome to participate.  There would not be a charge to set up but we would ask that an item be donated for the raffle table.

A Fisherville Day book will be available. It will include articles on our 2022 and 2020 Honorees, information on the recipients of the Quilts of Valor, a 1944-45 newsletter to our servicemen from the Luther League of Messiah Lutheran Church; Fisherville News items published in the Halifax Gazette and Elizabethville Echo; the life of Lois Gwendolyn Rudy;  History of Jackson Township; History of Fisherville as written by Earl Deibler, an 8th Grader;  stories of Fisherville; pictures of the past; and highlights of the 2019 Fisherville Day.

Please come, bring your lawn chair and enjoy the day! It will be a great place to reminisce for those who attended school and church in Fisherville. And also for individuals who may live in Fisherville now or had lived there in the past.
