Gentlemen, This weekend is the Fall Festival. The Knights are running the food and we're putting on a chicken barbecue lunch, with corn on the cob and salad. On Saturday evening, after the 4PM mass ends, I'll be making the special sauce and just generally prepping the kitchen area so that Sunday everything runs smoothly. At the same time, there is a concerted effort underway to get tables and chairs from the basement upstairs and under a tarp before dark Saturday night. This will enable folks to set up the outside During the masses on Sunday with less banging and bumping. On Sunday morning, there are multiple steps to all of this for us- cooking the chicken in the oven, transferring to the silver containers, prepping the corn, getting the grills ready and the various serving areas etc. Of course we'll need to get the salad prepped and some breads laid out and I will have a couple of the veggie burgers ready to hopefully hit the grill first and sort of hide somewhere until they're requested.. We'll also have a couple jars of beans warmed up. I'm aiming to arrive at church about 8 Sunday. The Knights are in charge of the food, though there are a dozen things happening at the same time and Charlotte can always use help with the rest of the activities. Rumors abound regarding who will end up in the dunk tank... Please let me know if anyone has any specific questions/concerns and I am looking forward to another great event. Vivat Jesus! John Pomeroy
