Rhubarb Festival


Do you like Rhubarb? Here's your chance to get your rhubarb fix - rhubarb pies, rhubarb crunch, rhubarb cake, rhubarb bars... anything rhubarb - 9 am - 1 pm today at First Lutheran Church, 1100 East Superior Street.

When I was growing up, our church would sponsor a "Strawberry Festival" as a fundraiser. In Duluth, rhubarb is plentiful and grows well in the Northland. Instead of strawberries, in Duluth we have a "Rhubarb Festival".

14 CHUM (Churches United in Ministry) congregations, as well as some community groups have come together for a fundraiser for CHUM for the festival today. Our Hope UMC is one of these congregations. Our members donated rhubarb, and a group of women got together yesterday and baked pies. Pies, and other treats made from rhubarb will be available for sale today at the festival. There will also be music, fun, a silent auction, fun, family activities, (bring the kids!) a country store, fun, and a rhubarb recipe contest!

See you there!
