More than 100 people came to the Country Bumpkins Fall Festival on Oct. 28, 2007, sponsored by the Spokane Linwood (Wash.) Church. Activities included a treasure hunt for more than 100 mini candy bars, music by the Forever Country Singers, and a gospel sing-a-long, led by Kevin Wilfley, pastor, around a roaring fire.
The food was nothing short of a good ol’ Adventist country dinner: veggie hot dogs, barbecued baked beans, homemade potato salad, and pumpkin pie, all washed down with 30 gallons of fresh squeezed apple cider.
When asked about their favorite parts, Audrey Child, church member said, “It was really fun watching the games.” Wilfley said, “the food!” And Jan Moseanko said, “It was nice sitting around the fire, [with] everyone singing.”
Volodymyr Nesteruk, pastor, and wife, Natalia, of the Spokane Slavic Church, dressed for the occasion.
Games are a part of the fall festival.
The Linwood Church family enjoys a sing-a-long and other activities around the bonfire.
