Event
Lord's Acre
Saturday, November 7, 2026
Lord's Acre Day returns to Powell Butte on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Powell Butte Christian Church has held the sale on the first Saturday of November since 1947, when farm families pledged the yield of one acre to help build the church. Today the day draws as many as 2,000 visitors for the famous Lord's Acre sausage, whole pies and pie by the slice, candy, a country store of handmade crafts, a quilt auction, live music, a pit barbecue lunch, and a 10K/5K run and walk.
The day is the work of volunteers all year long. Quilters gather on Monday and Tuesday mornings to hand-stitch the quilts that go to auction, and crafters make the goods sold in the country store. Proceeds pay for major church maintenance and scholarships, and a tenth has gone to mission work, local and overseas, from the start. The organizations below are taking part.
