How do you turn 400 pounds of potatoes into German potato salad? With a lot of help! Thursday morning an entire team of "peelers" were scraping, washing and preparing potatoes for the signature salad that has become a mainstay at the St. John United Church of Christ Germanfest. This year the church is partnering with the Oasis and getting special help from Castle Manor and St. Clara's Manor to bring to Lincoln a really outstanding family event. Money raised this year will also be shared between the church's mission projects and the Oasis building fund.
