5th Annual Paradise Bazaar and Turkey Dinner Ride

[Kanwaka]

It’s nearing time for the brave Kansas Wingers to take our Goldwings to Paradise, Kansas for a great meal.

The Paradise United Methodist Women Bazaar & Turkey Dinner will be held on opening day of Pheasant season as it usually is. (November 8, 2014)

This event was started in 1950 to raise money for a new Methodist church. The bazaar and dinner is the church's only fundraiser.

Everything is the same as last year, the bazaar opens at 10:30 a.m. and serving for the dinner begins at 10:45. Cost for the meal is $9 for adults and $5 for children in kindergarten through fourth grade.

Up to 400 people attend the bazaar and dinner every year. Average attendance is more like 330 to 340. The permanent Paradise population is 42.
