Partying like it's a tasting festival

Well, I never thought I'd be as happy for name-tags as I was tonight.  C and I worked along with mom as servers for tonight's feeding of the multitude at Schmeckfest.  It was a fair bit of work.  Mom was right, wearing good shoes is nearly a requirement.  The name tags were a Godsend numerous times for me as people said hello to me. I often totally blanked on their names but now I could just glance discretely obviously down to their name tag to catch their name.  At least this way I was able to remember a few names.

It was wonderful to be a part of such a community event.  The organization and scale was really something to watch and partake in.  A lot of potatoes, beef, pork, sauerkraut, kuchen, bread, salad and other goodies were consumed, both by the visitors and by us after we served the 700 or so ticket holders in about 4 hours.

This was our second day of Schmecking.  Last night the folks and C and I went in just for the meal and a little bit of looking around.  Luckily, we have another chance at of fun next weekend when we take in the musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and hopefully some of the other cultural lectures and demonstrations.
