German Feast Is a Success

Corn, OKLA — The school board planned and prepared; the ladies auxiliary organized, cooked, and coordinated; parents and supporters worked; students served and waited tables; and God blessed their efforts to make the annual Corn Bible Academy German Feast and benefit auction, which was held on a cool and cloudy February 4, a great success. Almost fifteen hundred people, the largest number ever, attended the meal to enjoy traditional German Mennonite foods including verenika, smoked sausage, sauerkraut, cherry mousse and schnetka.

Items included in the auction ranged from quilts to homemade pies to musical instruments to farm and garden items to vacation trips. After the last item had passed through the auction and the bids were tabulated, $67,000 had been raised to help provide for the general fund of Corn Bible Academy. The total for the day including the meal tickets, silent auction, baked goods, concessions, and live auction set a new record of over $95,000.

The Corn Bible Academy school board wishes to thank everyone who was involved. The day was only possible with the help of all who contributed on behalf of Corn Bible Academy and the results were received due to God’s blessing. The board also wishes to say a special thank you to those who donated items for the auction. A list of the business donors for the 2012 auction is on the CBA website.
