HUMC’s Octoberfest
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2016/09 - September
Highlands United Methodist Church, located at 315 Main Street, gets into the spirit of the season when it stages Octoberfest on Saturday, October 1.
Enjoy a tasty breakfast from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M at the Breakfast Cafe. Create your own fare as you choose from bacon, ham or sausage to complement your biscuits or cinnamon rolls. Top the biscuits with sumptuous jams and jellies. Beverage choices include coffee, orange juice or milk. Kibitz with friends in the Church’s Fellowship Hall. Be a hit when you return home with a sack of hot biscuits or cinnamon rolls for those late risers. Items are a la carte so build your fare as you see fit.
As a special service to businesses in the downtown area the Boy Scouts will be delivering meals to those business folks who have placed their orders ahead of time.
Have fun shopping at the Artisans’ Market at two locations.
Gay’s Garden Art is located under a tent on the church’s front lawn. Pick up items to add that special flare to your mountain décor. Bark art, hand-painted creations, moss and twigs transform the mundane to rustic chic in the hands of the HUMC artisans. Liven up your garden with creative art accents. As nature’s beauty begins to fade, the snakes and stakes and other art forms will be a welcome addition to winter’s minimalistic flare.
Inside the church’s Fellowship Hall, you’ll find numerous homemade items. Gather your holiday décor for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas here. Select items as holiday gifts for family and friends. You will be able to see a preview of the artists’ creations throughout September in the church’s Fellowship Hall. Pictures of the items will also be shown at highlandsmethodist.org.
As the sun climbs high and the family begins clamoring for a hearty lunch, visit The Grille, where you can choose from a variety of lunch items including hot dogs and bratwurst and all the fixin’s. A beverage (soda or water) and a dessert are included. Hot dog plates are $5 and bratwurst plates are $6.
Be sure to visit Grandma’s Kitchen on the church’s front porch for the best in homemade cakes, pies, cookies and breads. Pick up a couple of the gift baskets with homemade jellies, pickles, jams and more.
All proceeds from this Octoberfest celebration will help underwrite the church’s new Faith and Fellowship Center, presently under construction. If you aren’t able to be at Octoberfest, you can send your donations to HUMC, P O Box 1959, Highlands, NC 28741.
