In the parking lot, an area facing Maple Street will be set aside
for handicap parking only. Children's games and activities will be
on a section of the lot. The Alley Kats Band will furnish music
during the serving time, including polka music for dancing or
listening -- outside, weather permitting. Tables for those who want
to sit outside to eat or listen to the band will also be on the lot.

Authentic German food -- brats, red cabbage, sauerkraut, German
potato salad, apple strudel, German chocolate cake or angel food
cake -- will be served with apple cider, tea or coffee. A hot dog
meal with chips, dessert and drink will also be available. The meals
will be served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the St. John Church
Fellowship Hall.
The church youth group will offer the same menu at a drive-thru
line at the alley alongside the former ALMH east parking lot
entrance, off Eighth Street.
