Before day is done today, Rock Spring United Methodist Church is likely to have sold 500 hamburgers, 300 hot dogs, 25 gallons of soup and thousands — yes, thousands — of fried pies.
Those are estimates by church member Linda Swanson, who has been around since the first Show and Sell in 1971.
“If we didn’t make a dime,” she said, “it would be a good thing for the community.”
The 41st annual fall festival, held the last Saturday in September, offers wares from more than 50 artisans and crafters as well as demonstrations and a variety of home-cooked food.
The free event, according to Swanson, began as a fish fry and auction and grew from there.
