The Alley Kats Band will furnish music
during the serving time, including polka music for dancing or
listening -- outside, weather permitting.
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 church
youth will offer the same menu in a drive-thru line, available
alongside the former ALMH east parking lot at the alley.
Parking for the church is on the
corner of Maple and Eighth streets.
Games for children of all ages will
be sponsored on the lawn alongside the parking lot. There will also
be a 50-50 raffle and bake sale during the 11-3 hours.
Tickets for the German meal are
$8.50 and the hot dog meal is $4. Free delivery in town will be
available with orders of six or more prepaid tickets. Tickets are
available from the church and Oasis members or by calling Marilyn
Armbrust at 732-4261. Tickets will also be available at the Oasis
booth at the balloon festival and at the door the day of Germanfest.
Profits will be evenly split
between the Oasis for their programs and St. John UCC for their
mission projects.
