[ Sausage Festival ]

by Princess Hotcakes on November 18, 2011

Ivan took me to this year’s 77th Annual Verboort Sausage & Kraut Dinner.

The Verboort Sausage dinner is hosted by a small but amazing community every year on the first Saturday of November.
The whole community pitches in to prepare every detail of the meal. The funds from the day go to support the parish and a school.

My title may have been a wee bit misleading. It’s just fun to say it that way. ;)

The deal is… You show up, buy your tickets and then enjoy yourself. There’s activities, a small bazaar and a beer garden just down the road at the Verboort Gun Club. Yup. Beer and guns. No, just kidding. Just beer and wine.

We decided to check out the beer garden.


We hitched a ride on a school bus that shuttled us to the beer garden! So unreal. Those seats are ridiculously small.

At the gun club!


Outside they have several fires burning in barrels.

Here we are waiting in line…

As a souvenir we purchased this beautiful handmade quilt.
Someday we might have a baby Z to wrap up in that beautiful blanket.
It was such a gift to have my picture taken with the woman who made the quilt. She was a sweetheart!


We will most certainly be going back next year and the years to follow! 

XO, Rochelle

That looks like so much fun, and that quilt is awesome! Great pictures. I’m totally smitten by your hair though. One of my favorite looks of yours!
