Innumerable thanks and kudos to everyone volunteering for the 114th Arden Fair!
Held on Saturday, September 3, 2022, the Fair was a lovely success. The weather was beautiful- sunny, dry, and hot- and attendance appeared to be greater than in other years. (It is speculated, due to post-Covid 19 "bounce.")

Planning for the Fair begins in June with an initial meeting of the Gild Leaders, Arden Club Board members, and staff of the Club to shore up assignments.
