ELKINS — The First United Methodist Church’s United Women in Faith and United Methodist Men will be co-hosting annual spring events over a two-day span this weekend.

The first event will be the United Women in Faith’s Spring Country Store on Friday. The store will feature a variety of household, seasonal and miscellaneous items for sale.

“The Country Store is generally like a yard sale or garage sale-type thing, it’s whatever kind of donations people bring into us,” Trulik told The Inter-Mountain. “The unique feature of it is that you get to name your own price. We typically get holiday items that people bring in after clearing out of their attics or whatever. And we usually have a children’s table with toys, puzzles and other things. We also get dishware, linens, towels, and other things like that donated.”

No clothes will be accepted for the Country Store, which will be from 9 a.m. until noon, and items residents bring to the event have to be small enough to fit in a car. The United Women in Faith will also be accepting donations for gift baskets, and a quilt pieced by Trulik will be up for grabs.

The Pancake Feed, meanwhile, will be Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. The meal will be “all you can eat” and will include pancakes, sausage, and a drink. To keep up with another spring tradition in West Virginia, the United Methodist Men will also be serving up ramp sausage during the feed.

“The men and the Boy Scouts (Troop 88) will be doing the pancake feed and the ladies are doing the country store,” Trulik said. “This event is something we do every spring and is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year.

“We give the money taken in to some of the programs at the church, like the Lunch With Neighbors program. We have also given money raised in the past to the Homeless Shelter and what used to be known as Women’s Aid in Crisis (Centers Against Violence). We just gave a donation at the beginning of February to Kiwanis for their Senior Graduation Party. So it goes to both church programs and local missions.”
