Maple Syrup Festival – Olive Mennonite Church Gunawans’ Fundraiser – April 26 - 28, 2019 Each year the Maple Syrup Festival is held in downtown Wakarusa. This year the festival will take place on April 26-28. Olive Mennonite Church sells BBQ pork burger sandwhiches, chips, and soda on Friday and Saturday (April 26-27). We try hard each year to cover all expenses ourselves so 100% of the money collected can be donated. Our tent is typically set up on the main street across from the library. We hang banners and cook the burgers fresh on the spot so we should be easy to find. This year the church decided to support the Gunawan family. Many families at Olive know Chika and her family personally so it just made sense to offer them our support during this difficult time. We have talked with Chika so she is aware of the fundraiser. She was also okay sharing this information with the College Mennonite congregation. Our thought was that if people from your church come to the Maple Syrup Festival, they may want to enjoy a pork burger sandwich knowing the proceeds will support the Gunawans. Bethany Middle School Play – May 3-4, 2019 Bethany Christian Middle School will perform The Life and Times of Princess Sophia at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4. Tickets, $5 for adults and $3 for students, may be purchased online beginning April 15 at bethanycs.net/tickets. Synopsis: With the title character nowhere to be found, Princess Tabasco and her lady-in-waiting Saffron set off on an adventure to rescue Prince Gallant from the Evil Sorceress Nefaria. On the way, they join forces with an unlucky leprechaun, an unwicked witch, and a very unconvincing dragon. Will this band of fairy tale rejects be enough to stop Nefaria and her infamous harpies? Goshen Community Chorale and the Maple City Community Orchestra – May 11, 7:30 p.m. The Goshen Community Chorale and the Maple City Community Orchestra will be presenting a joint performance on Saturday evening, May 11, in Sauder Concert Hall at the Goshen College Music Center. The starting time is 7:30. The featured works will be the Handel Coronation Anthem “The King shall rejoice” and Haydn’s “Lord Nelson Mass.” There is no admission charge and all are welcome.
