A 90-YEAR TRADITION
It’s a little different than the Biblical loaves and fishes, but for past 90 years, every October, St. Andrew’s United Church of Christ, 7610 Ann Arbor Street. Dexter, has been feeding the folks who flock there for the Annual Sauerkraut Supper.
Roast pork, sauerkraut, homemade knoeffles, mashed potatoes, and gravy, pickled beets and lots of pies, make up the generous family-style meal.
Good eating is following in the German tradition of the church founders, 128 years ago this October. Serving begins at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 20, and runs til 7 p.m. with carry-outs available for those who want to enjoy the feast at home.
A Country Store is also part of the event, featuring a variety of crafts and homemade baked goods.
It takes nearly the entire congregation to put this “miracle” together and area folks can enjoy it at the church, 7610 Ann Arbor St. at Inverness on the east side of Dexter by reserving tickets through the church office (734) 426-8610 Monday through Thursday 8:30 to 2:30, or purchasing them at Dexter Pharmacy II or Loreen’s Village Café, or Hearts and Flowers, in Dexter, but they must be purchased in advance, by Wednesday, Oct. 19.
Adult price $10; children 5-12, $5.00 and 4 and under free, but an advance ticket is needed.
