During the event, four quilters will present this humanitarian project and invite anyone interested to join them at their table for a moment of sewing and sharing.The French Anabaptist Mennonite History Association will also showcase a genealogical tree of Christian denominations, tracing the origins of the Mennonites and Amish. A collection of historic books, a stand featuring specialized literature, immersive videos, and an authentic Amish buggy from Pennsylvania, displayed in the Vendor Hall courtyard, will complete this deep dive into their history and way of life.
