Lay Leader Chris Farnell sells peaches at a past festival.

Bethesda is hosting the 11th Annual Peach Festival at the Preston Firehouse (directions below) on August 11, from 9am to 2pm.

There will be craft vendors present, lots of great food and ice cream, and our famous peachy bake table – full of cobblers, pies, and many other delicacies. This year’s musical guest is “Old Friends.”

This year we will again be serving Em-ing’s barbecue chicken platters, which include half a chicken, potato salad, scalloped apples, and a roll for $9.00. Dinners need to be pre-ordered. If you would like to sell a book of tickets, please contact Donna Lane at 410-673-2161 or if you just want a couple of tickets, call Kay Fairbank at 410-673-7288.

Please join us for this fun family event!
