This time the wide assortment of food items like Chicken Bhujing, Sorpotel, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Sandwiches, Hot Dogs, Pork Chilly, Potato Chops, Veg Pulao, Pork Vindaloo, Cutlets, Cakes, Pickles, Rumballs, etc were the delicacies for sale. All products were very much appreciated and hence there was a rapid sale within a few minutes of the opening.
The highlights of the day were the special stalls where the natives of Kawant sold their artistic handmade jewellery, purses and handbags. The Auctions of sarees & weighing of the cake were the prized takeover. The youth & the confirmation batch put up game stalls that were easy to play but challenged individual skills. People of all ages kept coming back to have another try, as the games were very entertaining.
Over all it was a pleasant Mission day and all were content, with fellowship & service.
