SHASS summer activities meld into colorful fall events
It's hard to believe today is the 30th of August. Fall is around the corner when you notice the shorter day light hours and orange colors tinging the tops of trees.
At SHASS you definitely know it's fall when people call with their orders for pasties. Each year the number of orders for the U.P. traditional or chicken pasties continues to grow. In our first year, SHASS staff made 600 pasties; in the second year staff made 1400 pasties. We know that number will expand this year. SHASS staff will take orders for ready-to-cook pasties through September 13. Cost is $3 for one pasty; $13 for five and $25 for ten. Call SHASS, weekdays, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at 637-3607 to place your order. Pick up will be September 22 between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Peace Lutheran Church on Blue Star Highway in South Haven. You may also pick up your order on Monday, September 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Warren Senior Center, 540 Williams Street, South Haven. If you need a different pick up time, call Georgia at 637-3607.
If you're in the mood for rousing music, the Casco Band will be performing at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 11 at the Warren Senior Center, 540 Williams St., South Haven. The Casco Band comprises local musicians who simply love playing and performing music such as marches and tunes from the 30s and 40s. They perform in area parades and festivals and are very popular. Come and enjoy this free concert complete with delicious refreshments.
If you want some fun seeing members of our staff dunked in the dunking tank, come to the SHASS picnic starting at noon on September 7. Just throw a ball and see if you can drop them into the water. Local musician Joe Foster will be singing and playing fun tunes on his guitar. You can also enjoy a card game or two. The picnic will take place at Stanley Johnston Park in South Haven just north of the bridge. Come and enjoy tasty food as only picnics can provide. The SHASS staff will bring the meat and drinks. Participants should bring a dessert or a side dish to pass. To sign up, call Sandy or Sonja, weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., at 637-3607. Let them know what dish you'll be bringing. If it's raining the picnic will be Warren Senior Center.
Until next time... Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
