Roast pork sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, baked beans and homemade
slaw will be served along with iced tea and water. Tickets at the
event are $6 for adults and $3 for children under 8 years. Homemade
fruit pies and cobblers will be available for $1 per piece. Carryout

COPE is a mission that is reaching the Pokot, a tribe of 330,000
in Kenya, Africa. Headquartered in Tapadany, Kenya, the mission is
providing education and food for over 800 children, as well as
evangelism and establishing cottage industries among the Pokot to
help them survive and thrive in their impoverished and desolate
region.
Barb O'Donohue, U.S. director, and John Cox, Kenyan director,
will be present to answer questions.
