The Brookhaven Exchange Club has not lost its focus on serving the community.
But with COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing, offering the annual spring and end-of-summer fairs has not been possible. But the club hopes to have the fair once conditions become safe to do so, club member Bill Haag said.
Until then, the Exchange Club plans to rent spaces under its cow barns at the fair grounds to be used for garage sales, craft sales or farmers market booths on the first Saturday of each month.
The club reserves the right to refuse or reject booths or those who violate its rules:
• Face masks and social distancing are required.
• No tobacco, vaping, alcohol or drugs permitted.
• No profanity or rowdy behavior allowed.
Anyone interested in rentals should contact Haag at 601-754-0861.
