James Skrabanek, 71, a lifelong SPJST member, was in charge of cooking the pork sausage links.
âWe prepared them and smoked them on a barbecue pit Saturday,â he said. âWeâre expecting to sell 1,000 plates. Itâs a little more than usual. Weâre anticipating a good crowd. People are out and about now.â
The menu also included fried chicken, potato salad, seven-day coleslaw, iced tea and dessert (cheesecake if you were lucky). Volunteers started serving at 11 a.m., with dine-in and drive-through takeout available.
Other activities included a bake sale of kolaches, cakes and pies. Under the pavilion, a polka jam featuring four different bands started at noon, with a little country and western thrown in. At 3 p.m. Bell County Sheriff Eddy Lange began auctioning off an assortment of donated items.
