Sun beat down on the Cornucopia Project’s high tunnels as well-wishers pulled up a haybale to honor founder Kin Schilling on Saturday afternoon. Schilling, 77, is moving to Colorado next Monday after almost 40 years in Hancock, with her sheep and chickens in tow.
Cornucopia Project Executive Director Lauren Judd and Board of Directors Chair Cathie Sage thanked Schilling for her vision for the organization, which connects local students with growing and cooking healthy food. “Kin” also refers to kindred and family, they noted as they surprised Schilling by announcing they’d named a high tunnel after her. Sage also unveiled the “Kin Schilling Founder’s Fund,” a sustaining fund to support Cornucopia’s educational programs. It had raised $11,500 as of Saturday.

Members of the Hancock Congregational Church adapted to COVID-19 by reimagining their annual in-person Journey to Bethlehem. In early December, a series of painted plywood “Christmas cards” appeared downtown, detailing the Nativity story central to the Christian holiday. Organizer Amy Wilson said she’d first seen churches put up giant greeting cards during her childhood in the Midwest, and it seemed like a good way to brighten an otherwise socially isolated holiday season while mimicking the church’s traditional Journey, which sometimes drew crowds of 200 or 300. With an older congregation and all-virtual church services for now, an opportunity to drive or walk downtown and peruse the cards seemed like a good alternative, she said.
