Founded in 1920, MCC has over 850 volunteers in 52 countries involved in:
- Food Relief
- Job Creation
- Agriculture
- Peace-related Activities
- Health and Education
- Mental Illness and Disabilities
Bring the whole family and spend the day. Lots of kid’s fun will be on hand – including an auction just for them!
Browse amongst hand made crafts from around the world at Ten Thousand Villages. Find new and used books. On Friday evening enjoy leisurely shopping at the giant Silent Auction, with over 200 items.
Check out the Auction where Amish and Mennonite handcrafted items, Quilts, Artwork, and other items will be sold. There will also be craft items, plants, and lots of take-home baked goods at the Market Place.
You won’t want to miss the Amish horse-drawn carriage rides and tractor hayrides that will be available!
Check out the custom, antique and hot rods at the Classic Cruise-In. Better yet crank up your favorite custom, antique or street rod and cruise to the annual TriState Relief Sale.
