The Biblical History Center will host its first Olive Festival Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., attendees can come when they want and take their time visiting each station to learn about history.

“You’ll learn about what kind of fish ancient people would have eaten. We’re going to have a market set up with samples of foods from our biblical meals, like chicken and hummus, mixed nuts, raisins, all foods that people in the ancient world would have eaten so you can come and sample those foods,” Barker said. “We partnered with the Olive Growers Association here in Georgia for this event. It promises to be a really fun day.”

Tickets cost $25 per adult for ages 13 and up and $18 for children ages 6-years-old to 12. For more information about this event call (706) 885-0363 or visit fareharbor.com/biblicalhistorycenter to purchase tickets and browse events.

The church is able to fit a large crowd — with roughly 300 attendees at the event last year — and the sanctuary’s pipe organ is built to allow the organists to perform in full view of the audience. The concert will take place in the sanctuary of FUMC and is located at 401 Broad Street.
