St. Ambrose Spring Fair

 The St. Ambrose Church in Elkton just west of St. Augustine encompases a lot of history in a very pretty rural setting.  Minorcan and other Catholic families branching out from St. Augustine populated the area since the early 18th century.  The current church at this site was completed in 1907.  A great time to tour the church is during their annual fall and spring socials.  We went with friends who try to attend at least one social a year and had a great time.  Free admission and very organized parking with a short walk and you were under a canopy of large oak trees with a lot of activity going on.  There was food, lots of food from Minorcan chowder to hot dogs and great deserts to hand dipped ice cream.  There were antique cars, two of which I drove as a kid.  There was art and country store items to be purchased.  There were beverages from lemon aid to draft beer.  And there was live music. A very pleasant way to spend a few hours.  The link below has more information if you choose to attend one of these events in the future.       http://augustine.com/event/st-ambrose-spring-fair
