Few things are as reliable an indicator of the start of Autumn as the United Methodist Women’s Fall Market at First United Methodist Church, Natchitoches. The Fall Market has been a feature of life in Natchitoches for over 25 years. The Fall Market features a sale of donated items as well as home made crafts and treats. The United Methodist Men also join in with a chicken spaghetti lunch. This year’s event is expected to raise $4,000 to further the UMW’s support of various mission projects.
