Fastnacht Day 2021: Where to find the doughy treats as fewer offer them because of COVID
Heads up, fastnacht lovers.
It s not going to be as easy to find those doughy treats for Shrove Tuesday, which falls on Feb. 16.
Fastnacht Day is also known as Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras and Pancake Day. It s the last day to use up sugar, lard and butter before the start of Lent.
Several popular spots in the region will not be making and selling fastnachts this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
This includes St. James Lutheran Church in Adams County, Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Lancaster County, Saint Cecilia s Catholic Church in Lebanon County and the Stewartstown Senior Center in York County.
