There will also be a Silent Auction featuring baskets of goods, items from various businesses and gift certificates from many popular local restaurants. A “Taste of Lebanon” is provided in an area that will display various Lebanese artifacts, instruments, clothing, paintings, and facts about the country. For those who want to “Take the Festival Home!”, frozen bulk food of selected items will be available for purchase (to heat and eat at a later time).
As it has since 2007, WDBJ7 will once again be the Title Sponsor of the festival. Other participating supporters include WSLQ (Q99FM), Valleydale, and US Food Services. Admission is free, with a moderate charge for food and games. The festival features many vegetarian dishes such as hummus, falafel, homemade yogurt, and tabbouli, and also provides freshly grilled meat dishes such as lamb and beef kabobs and chicken. There are many Lebanese delicacies like spinach and meat pies, stuffed grape leaves, and of course wonderful Lebanese pastries, including Baklaweh. Takeout orders will be available by phone or fax: call (540) 562-0012 for details.
Parishioners Renee Turk, Pierre Ellis and Charles Aesy are festival co-chairs. During tours of the church, visitors will be able to enjoy the haunting liturgical music that imparts richness and solemnity to Maronite Catholicism, one of the oldest churches within the Catholic church.
