Bethel makes plans for ‘The Patch’

By Sam Waller

Bethel Assembly’s The Patch fundraiser returns Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Bank Park in downtown Albany.

The event raises funds to be used for community outreach programs.

Pumpkin sales begin at 9:00 a.m. and will continue until all are sold.

The day will include a number of activities for children and families. Among the list are free family photos, face painting, train rides, a petting zoo, cornhole, and pumpkin tic-tac-toe.

At 11:00 a.m., a decorated pumpkin parade for all ages will be held. Participants are asked to arrive by 10:30 a.m.

In addition, a barbecue meal will be available to help raise money for the Monte Lewis Scholarship Fund.
