Silent Auction We are looking for one-of-a kind items. Examples: Quilts, Antique furniture, Large themed gift basket, a service you could offer, a catered supper… it can really be anything. Please have items to the Fellowship Hall no later than 6 pm Friday, November 8th.

Note: To the crafters, if you’re making several of the same thing they will go in the craft sale not the Silent Auction.

Questions? Contact Susan Shantz  580-819-1776

Antique Car/Truck/Tractor Display

Do you have grandpa’s old tractor out in the barn? Or your dad’s vintage car/truck in the shed? This is your chance to get those antique vehicles out and give them a little sunshine! This will just be a chance for folks to enjoy looking at (not climbing on or in) the vintage vehicles in our community. It is not a judged event, it’s just for the fun of enjoying the memories and history! An entry sheet will be provided for you to list the make/model of your vehicle as well as any history you may know. So, get those vehicles up and running and feel free to invite any friends who may be interested in bringing their vintage vehicles. Contact Tonia Martin if you have any questions. 

Crafters I would like for the craft items to be at the church anytime after  Wednesday, November 6th. Bring items to the Fellowship Hall and I will get them set out and hung for view. This year, I’d like for you to price your items and tell me so I can make price tags. Please see Dori Slagell for any questions you have.

Bakers Please have all baked goods for the Day in the Country to the church  Fellowship Hall by 8:30 pm Friday evening, November 8th. So that they can be priced in a uniform manner.  There will be tables set up for you to place them on.  Thank you, Phyllis Stutzman.
