During the dinner, the public will have a chance to purchase two-pound bags of uncooked sausage and a tub of sauerkraut. A two lb. package of sausage is $15.00 each and a tub of sauerkraut is $8.00 each.
 
“We invite everyone to come to the Umbarger German Sausage Dinner to stock your freezer for the year with delicious German Sausage and homemade sauerkraut that we started making late last month,” said Harold Artho, publicity chairman of this year’s event. “We will also have for sale homemade bread, baked goods and our parish cookbook.”
 
There will also be a drawing for an opportunity to win from a number of donated items. Tickets for the drawing are $1.00 each. There will also be a children’s train ride. 
 
St. Mary’s Church will be open for tours during the festival. The church, which was constructed in 1929, was decorated with artwork completed in a 41-day period by Italian Prisoners of War in 1945 and restored by Sorellas Studios, based in Clarendon, in 2012 and 2013 (WTC 12/6/2020). 
 
Artho encourages people to visit the parish website, stmarysumbarger.com for updates and additional information on the dinner. Cash or check is the preferred payment, but debit and credit will also be accepted.
