Preparations are underway at the Hennepin United Methodist Church for the 101st Annual Harvest Home Celebration set for Sept. 21, 2013. The day's activities will include a bake sale/candy sale sponsored by the Methodist Women in the meeting house next door to the church and a lunch stand operated by the members of the church to be held in the church's educational wing at the north entrance on Fifth Street. There will also be children's face painting, decorating pumpkins and an apple pie baking contest.
There will be an additional pie contest - Chef's Choice. After the pie judging, all the pies entered in the contest are sold for a donation. There will also be farmer's market stalls; craft stalls; Christian music will be played; a kettle corn booth; Grandma Rosie's Sweet Treats; and a parade.
