2nd Annual Caldwell County FAITH FAIR

The Caldwell County Faith Fair is a one-day event of family friendly fun &

entertainment.  Hosted by local churches working in unity to bless the

community, coming to the Caldwell Agricultural Fairgrounds, May 17th 2025. 

With free parking, free admission & free game play kids can win prizes,

enjoy bouncy houses, puppet shows, live skits & more.  With something for

the whole family there’s music & special guest speakers, free goodies,

free water & snacks, vendors for optional shopping & food trucks.

 

Why it is….

This event is free family fun where parents can take their kids for a good time

at no cost to them.  While there, in all the games and play they will encounter

people serving them in love.  They may wonder why a bunch of people would

do this for the town for free.  What would motivate such a thing?  The love of Christ.

  It’s a free fun event for people and an opportunity to sow seeds for God’s Kingdom.

 

We are His Hands & Feet    How to Help….

Fundraising:  if able, churches are asked to help fund Faith Fair in bringing

this event to the community.  While we also reach out to businesses for

sponsorship, churches help this as well.  100% of all funds are used directly for

and in the Faith Fair.  Any excess funds raised after expenses are paid is used

in the meal assistance program, to back “Faith Fair dollars” which are

distributed for attendees in need to use at the food trucks.

Games/Entertainment: for churches who are able we can always use more fun!

  Setting up a game for kids or even adults to play is a great way to introduce

them to Jesus.  We have games with a biblical twist such as: “Casting Crowns,”

“Fishers of Men,” “Battle Against Sin,” & “David & Goliath.”  We have puppet

shows that tell stories of the bible and teach on biblical morals.  Live skits are

another way to show people the love of Jesus.  If this is what you would like

to do but you’re not sure on a game, we have a list of ideas! 

 

Bible Walk: the exhibit hall has a visual walk-through bible story.  Churches

with people who love to decorate can select a story already there to make

better or pick a new story illustrate.  These are paired with scrolls at each

one giving scriptures and an overview of each booth.

 

Communal Service Areas: some things are paid for by funds raised and

volunteers are needed to help, such as a bouncy house.  A church could

‘adopt’ a bouncy house and man it for the day.  Other areas need volunteers

too such as clean up and trash detail, taking a shift at the front gate,

with the safety/security team, live drama skits, operate a shuttle for people in

the parking lot or being extra hands-on deck for those in need.

 

Every member is important and useful.  The ears, the hands,

the feet…

Each is needed and brings glory to His Name. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
