2nd Annual Ladies Auxiliary Fastnachts Fundraiser
2012-02-01 - The Womelsdorf Vol. Fire Co. Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary will be holding their 2nd Annual Fastnachts Fundraiser.

If you don't know what a fastnacht is or what it's all about, it's a Pennsylvania Dutch custom that is a fatty doughnut treat served traditionally on Fastnacht Day or Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent starts. Fastnachts were made as a way to empty the pantry of lard, sugar, fat, and butter, which were traditionally fasted from during Lent.

Pennsylvania Dutch fastnachts can often be potato doughnuts, and may be uncoated, powdered with table sugar, dusted with confectioner's sugar, or eaten with various types of syrup.

For just $6.00 you will get a dozen of their fresh homemade fastnachts.

Fastnachts can be pre-ordered and picked up on Saturday, February 18th and Sunday, February 19th from 9am till 1pm or you can order on those days. We would recommend that you pre-order your fastnachts as they sold very fast last year. If you would like to pre-order please call Kim Martin at 484-769-0692. You can order or pick up your fastnachts at the firehouse at 501 West High Street.

2012-02-01 - THe Womelsdorf Vol. Fire Co. Ladies Auxiliary welcome Roy Orbison Impersonator Terry Harris for a solid night of remembering Roy on Saturday, April 28 in the downstairs bingo hall of the Fire Company Social Quarters, 20 N. Front St. Womelsdorf.

Terry strives to bring back that live concert feeling to his audience’s, as he tells the story of Roy’s life and songs through narration and music. A great tribute act is as much visual as it is about sound, so no detail is overlooked right down to the way Roy held the guitar to his stance at the microphone. Terry’s 90 minute Roy Orbison Tribute is a complete self contained show.

Tickets are just $25.00 each or 2 for $40.00 which will include a wonderful dinner made by our Ladies Auxiliary. The dinner menu is still being finalized however will include stuffed chicken, potatoes, and two vegetables with a salad. This will be a NON-SMOKING event.
