Comfort Food Weekend: Nov 6-7

Two delicious meals, two great NoCo fundraisers. November 6: fried chicken, November 7: sausage & kraut

On a chilly fall day, there are few things more wonderful than old-fashioned comfort food. Especially when that food is being cooked for a very good cause.

Mariya Powers

On Friday, November 6th, the Ferguson Swim Team is hosting one of two tasty fundraisers that will take place in Ferguson that weekend. Its Fried Chicken Dinner is a benefit for Mariya Powers, a 12-year-old Ferguson girl who recently suffered severe spinal injuries in an accident.

The dinner, which takes place at the Blessed Theresa Parish Center at 1050 Smith, will help Mariya’s family cover the cost of mounting medical bills and accessibility modifications to their home. You get fresh fried chicken and veggies in individual plates or family portions, plus homemade desserts. Eat in or carry out. 4-7pm.

The following day, Saturday, November 7th, it’s time once again for the Wurstmarkt at Immanuel Church of Christ!

I lived here for years until I finally discovered this fabulous Ferguson tradition. I used to drive by the signs and think, “What the heck is a Wurstmarkt??” Now I know.

It’s a once-a-year opportunity to gorge on some of the best German sausage you will ever eat. Immanuel hosts the fundraising event every fall, serving plate after plate of fresh sausage, sauerkraut, homemade applesauce and delicious veggies, and there is always a huge crowd.

I recommend going early to avoid long lines and get the best selection of homemade pie. Noon – 7:30pm. Eat in or carry out.

By the way, if you’d like to help the church ladies whip up crazy loads of fresh applesauce on November 2 & 3, call Jean Klasing at (314) 355-6487. It’s a sight to see.
