Can't express my gratitude enough to everyone for last night! The first Paint and Sip at the Elias was so much fun! Thank you Valerie for keeping us on task with such a fun painting.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS AS RAISE THE REGION CONTINUES THROUGH TONIGHT! We are so very grateful for your support of the Elias Center and its programs. Did you know that MHRA makes it a policy to return as much as we can when we fundraise back to our community? Be it through Elias programs, our Festivals (Blueberry, Oktoberfest and Winterfest), Hometown Heroes, downtown flower baskets coming this spring, News and Views, Halloween, the Tree Lighting, Fourth of July, Shop Mifflinburg and more! The rest keeps the lights on, our 20 hour employee paid, tax prep and lots of insurance paid! Running a community non-profit takes a lot of help. Please consider a donation today - we receive stretch funds based on what we raise that can push our ability to do more farther!
THANK YOU ALSO TO RAISE THE REGION! MHRA received a $500 award for best donation page design! Emily and I worked hard on it this year and I can't believe we were recognized! Go check it out (and consider a donation)!!

As part of MHRA's focus on our rich heritage, we own and operate the town's first church - the historic 1806 Elias Church, which is now a performing arts center. Today, the Center presents a variety of programming and is also available for rental or tours.Each December,...

Hard to believe it's been a week since Christkindl and Winterfest. I want to thank everyone that came out to the Elias and Fifth Street and supported MHRA and our vendors. We had a great time and the best year ever! Thanks to our amazing performers and volunteers. The Elias was rocking and people seemed to enjoy the new relaxed atmosphere. So excited for the future!
