CBA Press Release
The public is invited to Clinton, Oklahoma for Corn Bible Academy’s 60th annual German Feast and Auction on Saturday, April 6, 2024. This will be the second feast at the school’s new 40 acre campus in Clinton after operating in the town of Corn since 1903. The event will take place at 22387 E 1070 Road in Clinton from 10am until 2:30pm.
The meal will feature delicious verenika (cottage cheese dumplings) smothered in a ham and onion gravy, zwiebach, German sausage, cherry or pluma mousse, and New Year’s cookies (fried raisin, chocolate chip, or apple fritters). A hamburger meal will also be served with chips, baked beans, and New Year’s cookies.

There will be several big changes to the auction portion of the event this year. The doors will open for the bake sale at 10:00am. Homemade breads, and other baked goods including hundreds of dozens of schnetka – a German pastry featuring cinnamon, sugar, and cream – will be available for purchase. There will no longer be a “Unique Finds” (garage) sale. The silent auction has become an online auction, with the bidding opening on March 9 and closing on April 2.

The live auction will start at 1:00pm and end by 2:00pm, with both online and in-person bidding.

A verenika plate is $15 and a hamburger plate is $10. Online ticket sales will incur a small processing fee but will allow the guest to bypass the ticket sales line at the event. The handicapped and the elderly may bypass the serving line and be directly seated at a table, with CBA students available to serve them.
