I have been so busy with the bazaar this year that I haven't posted in a while. I am afraid that this is just going to be the case for another few weeks. I did manage to catch a mistake about the bazaar recently that no one else has. I guess they may have but no one has brought it to my attention. I have been spelling Fare wrong. We wanted a bit of a play on words for the bazaar and so we named it the Holiday Fare. We liked that since it was like Fair but Fare. I have just realized that I have been combining the words to spell Faire.
I now know this because I made a rather large order of printed signs to Vistaprint with the wrong spelling. It is misspelled on the church sign, website, fliers, and now all the signs to direct traffic where to go. Once I had my "Oh S#@% !" moment and clued Travis in as to what I had done, he thought it was just best to embrace the screw up and say that we invented a new word. I have to say that I am on board with this decision (Since I am committed now) and that if you talk to me openly in public about this I will deny that there was ever a problem in the first place. This was the plan from the beginning.

Ha! I paused at the spelling, then thought it was just fancy :P I figured it must just be that my vocabulary needed expansion! Hopefully everyone will have this reaction...I think it's a cool word either way :)
It's an obsolete spelling of "fair" as in "Renaissance Faire".
No worries, you were just going for old school.
It is a proven fact (?) that your sign gets more attention if it has a spelling error! What a brilliant tactic on your part!!!! Janet
