[October 17, 2013]  Castle Manor and St. Clara's Manor have teamed up to furnish a bounce house for the children's game area at the upcoming 14th annual Germanfest. The Germanfest activities will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. John United Church of Christ, 204 Seventh St. in Lincoln.

The 15-by-15-foot bounce house has plenty of room for the fun inside. It features a Disney-character front. Game supervisors from both St. John and the Oasis will oversee the bounce house and the other games on a secured section of the church parking lot.

Also on the parking 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, watch their children play or listen to the band will also be on the lot. 

Inside the church, St. John is being joined by the Oasis Senior Center in providing 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. Meals will be served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the St. John Fellowship Hall.

The youth of the church will offer the same menu at a drive-thru line at the alley alongside the former ALMH east parking lot entrance, off Eighth Street.

Profits will be evenly split between the Oasis for their programs and St. John UCC for their mission projects.
