We can't wait to see you soon for another wonderful Heritage Fair! The day is full of activities and goodies for people of all ages! Heritage Fair is a joint fundraiser between Camp Blue Diamond and the Middle PA District Church of the Brethren. Each year the district churches set up a booth that has food or items for sale, activities, or demonstrations. All proceeds are donated to Camp and the District, so anything you purchase has a direct and lasting impact! These funds help make summer camp affordable for everyone and keep Camp a peaceful place for retreat year round. It also helps the district provide support, resources, and programs for pastors, churches, and youth in the district.
There will be a breakfast served in the lodge from 6:30-8:30am on Saturday. The Polar Bear Plunge will be at 7 am at the lake, with a $50 entry fee. You can sponsor someone else to take the plunge or do it yourself! Most booths and activities are open from 8:30-3. The dunk tank begins at 9am, featuring many past camp staff and supporters. The Ministry Support auction under the big tent is 11-1, and the Pumpkin events (Punkin Chunkin contest and pie eating contest) in the afternoon!
The children's area will include peace flag making, toss games, a bounce house, sawdust pile with hidden coins, and cookie painting! All kinds of food such as many kinds of soup, apple butter, apple cider (made on the spot with the cider press!), ice cream, fudge, hot sausage, walking tacos, ox roast, woodfired pizza, and lots more will be available for purchase! There will also be homemade crafts and home items for sale. The auction will feature all kinds of baskets with different items.
We are still looking for some volunteers in areas such as parking, helping with the auction, taking a shift at Camp's booths, or helping in the children's activity area. Contact us if you are interested in helping with any of these for an hour or so!
Sorry, no pets, alcohol, or weapons allowed on premises. Thank you for supporting these two awesome ministries!
