Who knew? St. Paul's Church on Delavan Ave. in Byram has an amazing book and media sale scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday (June 8-10th) with many books virtually new.
Drive around back of the church for ample parking by the ballfield. The lower level room is BRIMMING with both hardcover books and softcover books in any category you can think of. There are also audio books, DVDs, CDs, and computer games, including XBox.
According to Pastor John Perling, who was bracing himself for the line that forms for the opening of the sale, "The dealers come from far and wide and use scanners to check the books for their Amazon value. They pay a small premium. It's okay because the funds we raise to go the great activities at Byram Schubert Library, where school kids enjoy great programming during school vacations and over the summer."

Thursdays at St. Paul's: Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Pick up
On Thursdays, behind the church, a tent is set up from 2:00pm until 8:00pm for CSA shareholders to pick up their shares and half shares -- all picked fresh in Shelton at Stone Gardens Farm. Patch has visited this farm. It is the real deal, family run by the Monahans who practice a farming method called IPM" or Integrated Pest Management, rather than organic. Under IPM, pesticides are not used routinely, but as a last resort to control pests when their numbers are particularly troublesome.
It's not too late to sign up for the 22 week CSA. there are a couple slots left. This is the first year this CSA has added Greenwich to the well estblished route of pick up spots in Fairfield County. You've only missed one delivery.
