Annual Fastnacht Social Ticket, St. Andrew's Reformed Sunday School, Reading, Pa., Feb. 21, 1950

Annual Fastnacht Social Ticket, St. Andrew's Reformed Sunday School, Reading, Pa., Feb. 21, 1950
"Annual Fastnacht Social, sponsored by Beginner's, Primary, and Junior Depts., St. Andrew's Reformed Sunday School, Spruce Street off Perkiomen Avenue, Tuesday, February 21, 1950. Supper served from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets, 10 cents."

Although "fastnachts"--a type of fried doughnut--are eaten in central Pennsylvania on Fastnacht Day, it's not known whether the traditional treat was featured as part of this "Fasnacht Social" supper held as a church fundraiser in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Shrove Tuesday in 1950.

For additional information on Fastnacht Day, see Fastnacht Sociable, Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 16, 1904.
