Book Fair, Basket Raffle Is Oct. 3 In Busti

BUSTI – The Busti Church of God and Hazeltine Public Library will present a book fair and basket raffle from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3. Authors and artists participating include Julia Casselman, Jen Kilburn, Lana Keller, Sally Ferguson, Jessie Andersen, Steve Sorensen, Julia Thompson, Alicia Willsie, Darla Grieco, Mollie Lyon, Heidi Mercier, Emily Stepansky, Arlene Coullter, TJ Buck, Joe Sanifilippo and Dan Weisbrod. The event is a fundraiser for the Busti Church of God Uganda Team, leaving for Africa next spring to present eye clinics. Led by Pastor Roy Ferguson, and under the supervision of Dr. Donna Morhous, the eye clinics bring relief with an otherwise unavailable service to most people in third world countries. Busti Church of God has been sending teams to Uganda since 2010. More than 65 people have gone once, some have been back multiple times. Proceeds from a Food Café featuring homemade treats, souvenirs from Uganda, and a basket raffle from authors and local businesses will all go to the Uganda Team. Everything purchased from authors and artists will go toward their expenses. There is free parking and admission. The event will be held at the Busti Church of God Family Life Center at 996 Forest Ave. Ext. For more information, find the book fair's Facebook page or call Sally Ferguson at 716-488-1254.
