You are invited to attend Harvest Fest 2024 on October 12 in Oklahoma City at Our Lord’s Lutheran Church, 2900 W. Hefner Rd. The doors open at 11:30 a.m. and a meal will be served at noon. The suggested donation for the meal is $15 per plate, which will include German sausage, bierocks, German hot potato salad, sweet and sour red cabbage, sauerkraut, kuchen and homemade root beer.
The meal will be followed by a short presentation by Mike Martens of Fairview, describing his research on the history of Turkey Red Wheat that was brought to America by the Germans from Russia. He is a long-time farmer and rancher. He is a board member of the Major County Historical Society and works for the Major County Historical Park and Museum. The Park and Museum is a 160-acre working farm where the annual two-day Fairview Threshing Bee takes place. This year that celebration will be held on September 27-28.
