Once again it’s time for Bethany Home’s annual Garage Sale and Craft Show! The event began at 8am this morning, and runs through 3pm. At the same time, there is a Bake Sale that lasts until the goodies are all gone. From 11 til 1 there’s a chili feed. That’s today, the Garage and Bake Sale, plus chili feed, at the Bethany Home in Lindsborg.
And also this morning, from now through 10:30, you can both grab a great breakfast and contribute to an important cause. Come on down to the Lindsborg Covenant Church for a basket auction and pancake feed to benefit Calvin Carlson.

You’ll want to make a point of visiting the Linsborg State Bank in the near future where rare cement sculptures by Oscar Gunnarson are on public display. A special thanks to his daughters, Eunice and Margaret for making these delightful sculptures available for viewing. Also, thanks to Eunice for teaching me to type, lo those many years ago.
