The Mountville Lions Club’s annual spring potpie supper is a bit of a misnomer, as the event has turned into a nearly all-day affair. “One change we will be making this year is to start selling takeouts at 11 a.m.,” said potpie chair Eric Weaver. “A lot of people like to pick it up after running errands on a Saturday to enjoy for lunch, and we’re trying to make it available a little earlier.” The event will be held at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 100 W. Main St., Mountville, on Saturday, March 16. The takeouts will include containers of potpie, which is a savory mixture of chicken, potatoes, hand-rolled dough squares, and broth, along with small sides of coleslaw. Desserts will be available for purchase. Folks who opt to dine in may arrive See Potpie Supper pg 7
