Spring Celebration
Locals will know Spring Celebration as the name of an annual event in Pleasantview. It happens this weekend, primarily on Saturday. Many of the businesses there sponsor drawings and offer refreshments and advertising tokens of some kind.
We heard during announcements at church last night that, among some of the businesses represented there for the first time, will be Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. They will set up at Pleasantview Home Improvement (PHI) and will offer several kinds of free screening services. I understand that it's a public relations effort, and, as we all know, offering something for free is a great way to reach the target audience in the Pleasantview area.

Friday night is the mush and liverwurst fundraiser for Mennonite Friendship Communities (MFC). It was rescheduled because of the snowstorm that occurred over that time.
***********************
April 5 is the date for a fundraiser for the Pilgrim Spanish class. It will be a chicken and rice dinner.
***********************
The weather prediction for Saturday and Saturday night looks more wintry than spring-like. Right now the chance for snow stands at 70%. All of Reno County is in the area with the best chances for significant accumulation.
As is usually the case, the track of the storm is still a bit uncertain, and predictions may change. Our students hope that at least part of next week will be sunny and warm. I'm sure that having "snow days" on spring break would seem like a waste.
This weekend though, as long as something wet is falling from the sky, I doubt that many people will complain about the weather, even if significant snowfall could change some weekend plans. We're still that thirsty.
