Episode 31: Differences between Mennonites and Hutterites, Bonneyville Mill flour and Earth Day activities

We're nearing the end of March, but keeping the episodes packed with great information on things to see and do in and around Elkhart County. First off, get to know Jerry Beasley, executive director of Menno-Hof. He explains the mission behind the cultural center located in Shipshewana where you can see and hear the Amish-Mennonite story through multimedia presentations, historical environments and colorful displays. Jerry helps explain the differences between Mennonites and Hutterites, how their communities are based on Anabaptist and talks about one of their most popular exhibits, the Tornado Room. Then we chat to Courtney Franke, mill manager at Bonneyville Mill County Park, located in Bristol. He explains the history and heritage behind the Mill at Bonneyville, the process of making flour at the mill and how you may just be greeted with the smell of freshly baked goods when you visit. And finally, we learn more about Earth Day from Jeff Zavatsky and Annie Klehfoth from the Elkhart Environmental Center. They tell us about various Earth Day activities they have planned for the entire month of April.
