BETHANY, PA — The Bethany Collective will host its third Soup-er Sunday on February 22 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Bethany Public Library.

“We have another great selection of homemade soups for friends, neighbors, and guests,” said Janet Heinly, one of the event coordinators. “We’re featuring beef barley, Manhattan clam chowder, creamy mushroom, split pea with ham, navy bean, cabbage, potato leek, chicken noodle and more. If you don’t see what you like, just ask if we’ve got it, because we’re getting more selections all the time, so we may have what you’re looking for.”

To place an order ahead for quarts of soup, call Heinly at 570/253-5573. Quarts are also available at the Bethany Public Library on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $10 for a quart Mason jar.

For guests wishing to sit and enjoy a bowl of soup in the upstairs hall at the library, steamy bowls of soup and ciabatta rolls made by Beach Lake Bakery will be available for purchase.

All of the proceeds from Soup-er Sunday go toward the preservation and beautification of the Borough of Bethany, including the Bethany Public Library, the restoration of the Bethany Park’s historic band shell and the Bethany Historical Society.

Begun in December of 2013, the Bethany Collective, a group of concerned citizens in the borough of Bethany, has sponsored several events, including three Soup-er Sundays, a seminar on home-roasting coffee, a day-long auction in Bethany Park, three summertime outdoor movies in the park, and a panel discussion presented by award-winning authors.
