Fall Festival in rural Georgeville...and church (VIDEOS)

As advertised in the last two Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper issues, Rustic Design Flower Farm is hosting their second annual Fall Festival today. You can see a few photos from last year's Fall Festival by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3AscarE. This event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. The owner of Rustic Designs Flower Farm is 1995 B-B-E graduate Mary (Walsh) Solbreken. Many of you remember her niece, Morgan Gronli, a three-sport star athlete at B-B-E and a 2018 B-B-E graduate.

Also today: Chippewa Falls Lutheran church is holding a drive-through hog roast from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. They are located on the north side of beautiful Terrace.

Also today! The St. Donatus Catholic Church is hosting a dine-in and take-out Turkey and Ham Fall Dinner at the Padua Pub. They serve from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the banquet hall. More details were published in the last two issues of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.   

If you didn't get to church last weekend, here's a video you can watch from last Sunday's outdoor worship at Brooten Community Church:


Following worship, parishioners and guests enjoyed a wonderful pot luck picnic with grilled hot dogs, brats and hamburgers. My family was blessed by taking part in the picnic, and we are grateful for their hospitality.

Additional coverage of local events and more is posted at the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website: https://www.bonanzavalleyvoice.com.

And here's another video from the concert in rural Sunburg last weekend. This was one of the last songs sung by Kentucky Thunder (short link) = https://bit.ly/3nO13pw.

*Update: I really enjoyed visiting with both Mary and Julie today. I did my best to give them good ink and promotion. Look for more on their businesses in next week's Voice.

Have a good night, everyone.
