Volusia County Fair

The Volusia County Fair begins on November 5th. They will have an opening day food drive in honor of Edgewater resident Helen Pleterski. All the food donated will be distributed by Second Harvest Food Bank to over 50 churches and organizations in Volusia and Seminole County.

I assist with the Halifax Urban Ministry Community Meal a few times a month, many people benefit from the donations to the local food banks. Those that we serve are appreciative, kind people, for some it is the only meal they eat all day.

If you donate two items of canned goods you will receive a buy one get free admission ticket for any other night at the fair.

The fair runds through November 15th. You can access the schedule and event calendar below.
