Cooksville Lutheran Church Autumn Fest for 2019


The 2019 Cooksville Lutheran Church Autumn Fest is almost here,
October 13th. There will be activities for everybody, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.. Come and eat a home-cooked meal, listen to some live music and have fun!

The event will begin with worship and communion at 10:00 a.m. with Pastor Karla Brekke presiding. The following activities will begin on the Church grounds at 11:30 a.m.: judging of the BBQ pork loin cook-off; a bake sale featuring lefse, Norwegian treats, and other baked goods; and a themed-basket silent auction. The main feature of the themed Silent Auction will be a colorful quilt, made of batik fabric, 5’x5’.

At noon, an adult and child’s meal will be served. The main meal will be a barbecue pork loin dinner or a sloppy joe sandwich, served with cheesy potatoes, baked beans, homemade pie, and a drink. The child’s meal will consist of a hot dog, chips, a bar or cookie, and a drink. Both meals will be served until gone, in a fully handicapped accessible church.

One new feature this year will be the Old Fashioned Pie Contest. If you want to register, bring your pie/s to the Church between 12-1 p.m. Judging of the pies will follow at 1:30 p.m. Attendees will have the opportunity to buy one pie, or more, beginning at 2:00 p.m., thanks to the services of Dean George Auction.

Music and children’s activities, and the sale of 50/50 raffle tickets, will be ongoing during the afternoon. Mike and Jamie McCloskey will play their unique blend of acoustic swing blues and country music from noon-2 p.m. There will be a pumpkin decorating contest, bean-bag toss, and pumpkin bowling for children. The drawing time for the 50-50 raffle will be at 3:00 p.m. The winner will need to be present to win, as there will only be one winner.  

The address is 11927 West Church Street, Cooksville (not Evansville), near the Cooksville Cemetery, one block south of the intersection of Tolles Road and State Road 59. For more information, www.cooksvillelutheran.org or 608-882-4408.
