Prefaced by Jan Jackson –
You can see by the photo of Mt. Angel Sausage Company Wurstmeister James Hoke, that Mt. Angel is gearing up for its 11th annual pre-lenten festival. The food, the music and the fun is for the whole family – I know because I’ve been there. You should go there too – smile./jj
Invitation from Mt. Angel:
Celebrate Mount Angel’s German heritage at Volksfest, where you will find the best handcrafted German sausages as well as local and German beers. Enjoy other great food, live German music, dancing, games and demonstrations.
