Mennonite Relief Sale to include quilt show, plenty of food

An annual fundraiser to support the state’s Mennonite Central Committee is coming back to the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, April 14-15.
The Mennonite Relief Sale will feature booths of authentic crafts made by members of the Mennonite community, auctions, activities like mini-golf, a 5K run, a quilt show, and, of course, lots of food, like burgers, pork tenderloins, kettle corn, hot dogs, New Years cookies, and pie a la mode.

If that isn’t enough to satisfy your hunger, the event is bringing back “Feeding the Multitude,” twice-daily servings of verenike (dumplings similar to pierogi with both savory and sweet fillings), sausage, borscht, and bohne berrogi (a bean-filled dough bun topped with sweet cream sauce). Also, enjoy a pancake breakfast Saturday morning before all the day’s fun begins.
