This year, the barbecue dinner will be takeout only. Each dinner will include a half-chicken, applesauce, chips, a dinner roll and butter, a whoopie pie and a choice of water or lemonade. Half-chickens only will also be available. To order chicken barbecue tickets in advance, readers may visit w w w. c o n e s t o g a c h r i s t i a n . n e t /auction2020. Dinners may be picked up in the school’s front parking lot from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 16. This year, drive-through dinner pickup will not be available at Conestoga Mennonite Church, located across from CCS. “We will turn our entire school parking lot into a four-lane drive-through,� explained Michelle Parris, CCS admissions director. “We are trying to do everything as efficiently as possible.�

Also on Oct. 16, a gift certificate store will be open outside the school, and there will be homemade apple dumplings available for purchase. A live auction will be held on Oct. 17 from 9 to 11 a.m. It will take place outside under a tent behind the elementary school. “Masks will be required inside and if social distancing cannot be achieved outside,� Parris noted. This year, there will be no alumni game, no children’s area and no food tent. “ We downsized the amount of food we are serving. We will have a coffee area that will serve specialty coffees, cold drinks and our famous apple dumplings. They are made at the school on the Wednesday before (the auction) by parent volunteers,� said Parris. The live auction will feature a selection of items, experiences, artwork, quilts and homemade jams and yogurt. Auction highlights will include a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, a John Deere tractor, 150 gallons of heating oil and two-night stays at local inns, including Brownstone Colonial Inn Bed and Breakfast and Laurel Springs Guest House.
