Tuesday is commonly known as Fat Tuesday, and across Pennsylvania that means bring on the fastnachts!
In Lancaster County, Holy Trinity Church in Columbia has been making the delicious donuts since 1924 as a fundraiser.
Nearly 620-dozen fastnachts were made, but it will take the church about ten more days to complete the more than 7,000 orders.
With so many orders, you might think finding volunteers to get up early to roll and fry the dough would be quite a task. But at Holy Trinity it has never been a problem.
“Because it's a thing I've done for about 40 years,” Kathleen Lutz commented. “Started with my grandmother my son comes once in a while so that's 4 generations.”
All seven thousand orders of the Holy Trinity fastnachts were all sold prior to Tuesday's event. The church is not accepting any more orders at this time.
