On the first Saturday in November most years we head out to the Dutch community of Verboort about 15 miles west of our home for the annual Sausage dinner they put on. It is immensely popular, and serves as a major fundraiser for their local private school. It is reported they serve 8000 meals at around $15 each, though I don’t know if this figure includes only the sit down dinners or also the drive up ones. They opened the ticket booth at 10AM and I stood in line 45 minutes to buy tickets. We returned later in the early evening so we wouldn’t have to stand in line for the meal.
Along with the sausage and sauerkraut, they serve applesauce, salad, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, and pie. The meal is very good and the atmosphere engaging.
In the school gym they sell additional wares and have a quilt auction. I am impressed with this sign on the wall:
Here is a link to a post my wife composed a few years ago about this annual dinner.
Mmm, good.
