Food and Fun Enjoyed at Fastnacht Beach Party
Plenty of food was enjoyed at Good Shepherd’s Fastnacht Beach Party. Hot dogs and wimpies were the main course with lots of other goodies. Dinner was topped off with doughnuts. Entertainment followed with Gary Phillips and Pastor Wes serenading us with music. Jokers Christian Ritter, Katy Ritter, and Caela Bernecker provided laughter.
