What’s a family-friendly event that has food, music, artisans, crafts, wine tastings, children’s rides, and a famous 63-egg cake?! Chapel of the Cross’s A Day in the Country does! This community festival kicks off the first week of October and welcomes families near and far to visit the historic Chapel. A Day in the Country actually started as a restoration project. Back in 1979 members of the church and community saw the need to restore the nineteenth-century Chapel before it was forever lost to decay and vandalism. They partnered with The Department of the Interior who offered a $50,000 grant to assist in the restoration of the church, a registered historic landmark. However, in order for the restoration to take place, the congregation had to match the grant. From that, the festival was born, and the grounds have been completely renovated, updated, and maintained ever since. Now, A Day in the Country has become a community staple and the Chapel of the Cross uses the proceeds to support various ministries. It’s a great time to support your community, enjoy the crisp fall weather, and create beautiful family memories. Trust us, it’s worth the trip! Mark your calendars for October 2nd for A Day in the Country. For more information about the festival or Chapel of the Cross, visit their website https://chapelofthecrossms.org/.
