They're making the Dilly Beans


Volunteers Heather Tucker, Lori Kepler, Priscilla Jahier, and Carole Witkowski, above, are preparing a specialty called, "Dilly Beans" for the Country Store booth at the Fall Fair scheduled at the Old First Presbyterian Church of Huntington on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Kepler explains:
Dilly beans are like pickles, but they are beans with a brine poured over them. We put them in jars and "can" them. It's sort of old fashioned, but that is why they sell so well. People just don't have the time to make things like "Dilly Beans." By the way they do not have any sugar in them.


Each year volunteers create home baked goods, crafts, and other Country Store items for the fair. Other booths at the fair include: a silent auction, collectibles, books, clothing boutique, toys, white elephant items, vintage linens, jewelry, rummage, silk flower arrangements, and – new this year – a golf shop.

Old First Church is located at 125 Main St., Huntington Village, across from Town Hall. Lunch will be available, featuring homemade chicken salad, homemade clam chowder, and homemade desserts, such as apple pie. The fair runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and proceeds go to local, national, and international charities.
