COOKIE CARNIVAL IS ON!
MaryEllen Dawson reports the annual fundraiser for Gregg Fellowship Cookie Carnival will forge onward with tasty boxes of cookies for all
—PRE-ORDERED!!
Please participate in this very important fundraising event by ordering fabulous sugar cookies with icing,  the famous nutmeg logs, mint brownies and more.
​
COOKIE CARNIVAL CHANGE OF PLANS!! Due to the rise in cases of Covid 19, we would like everyone to remain safe on the Island, so our plans for Cookie Carnival are as follows. We will have Cookie Carnival BY ORDER ONLY. Orders can be picked up on December 12 from 11-2. If paying with a check, make it out to “BICC.” Order/price sheets will be placed around the community for you to pick up. Fill out the order with your name and phone # and take it to Kathy Speck. There will be a drop box on Kathy’s back deck ON PINE ST. for the order sheets. Orders can also be placed with Kathy by phone 448-2393. Order sheets will be placed for your convenience at the following businesses: McDonoughs Market, Community Center, Resale Shop, Island Energies Gas Station, Powers Hardware and on BI Christian Church website: bichristianchurch.com. All orders must be received by Kathy no later than Monday December 7th. We are very excited to be able to fill the homes in the community with all sorts of delicious treats for the Christmas season. We hope everyone will understand the reason for our decision. The best part is “We get to make cookies and you get to eat them.

​Is Hog Harvesting a definition of sustainability?  Yes. Sustainability is a term that has been bandied about quite frequently lately, oftentimes with no clear definition or relation explained.
Try this one. You must feed your family. To do that, you have to kill an animal.  Butchering and processing the resulting FOOD feeds your family.  Knowing how to do it right,  may save your life as well.

​
For some,  the recent Hog Harvest workshop at Flattail Furs Farm with guest instructor, Mike Baker was an adventure into an experience they never had. For others, a lesson in preparing fresh meat for cooking or serving,  making sausage, prosciutto and charcuterie.
For hog-raisers intending to harvest and butcher in the near future, either without a nearby processor or for their own expertise,  the workshop was worth a trip from Tennessee and Wyoming. Find out why inside…(Photos by MayPole Studios, Bethany Fritz)
