A Local Artisan Market will be taking place in the Grove City Community Center this Saturday – February 1st – from 9-to-1. Coffee will be served to shoppers.
Local crafters, artists and bakers will be at the event, showcasing their handmade creations. A portion of the fees being paid by the vendors for their booths will go into a fund for coffee and cookies that are served during Grove City’s Fika gatherings which are held on the 3rd Monday of each month in the Community Center.
The Grove City Area CARE program has its souper bowl fundraising lunch on Saturday, February 8th from 11-to-1 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Grove City. It’s $12 for adults and $5 for children under 10.
Meeker County Commissioner Steve Schmitt, who is on the CARE board, says you can get an endless bowl of soup, sandwich, dessert and beverage. He says it’s a great way to support the CARE program which he calls the best-kept secret in Meeker County – because of the way it cuts down on health and human services needs in the western part of the county.
Schmitt says the Grove City Area CARE program provides services to seniors to help them live safely for as long as possible in their own homes. He says the Souper Bowl Lunch is also a great time for fellowship. Everyone is welcome. For more information about the Grove City Area CARE program or about the lunch on February 8th, call 857-2274.
