THANKSGIVING BINGO

November 20, 2018 2 - 4 PM

LOTS OF FUN,

FELLOWSHIP

AND PRIZES!

In 1961, Ed Grist, the city meat inspector

created a festival to honor sausage. The

Mayor at the time proclaimed this Saturday

as a one-day affair which climaxed a week

of activity featuring sausage dishes on

menus of local cafes and specials on sausage

products in local meat markets and grocery

stores. The first year was a “Sausage

Festival”, later “Wurt Week” and finally

“Wurstfest”. The first Wurstfest drew a

crowd of 2,000 sausage lovers. Today, our

city draws hundreds of thousands. This

year, Wurstfest will begin on Fri Nov 2 and

end on Sun Nov 11, 2018. The times are

Fri 4-11pm, Sat 11am-Midnight, Sun 11am-

10pm, Mon-Wed 5pm-10pm and

Thurs-Fri 5pm-11pm.

120 Landa St, New Braunfels, TX.

SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME …

by Ron Hall and Denver Moore

This is a wonderful read about a true story. Denver

Moore grew up in Louisiana in the 1960’s, working on

a a plantation as a modern-day slave. Ron Hall is an

international arts dealer who moves between upscale

New York galleries and celebrities. It seems unlikely

that these two men would meet under normal

circumstances. Until Deborah Hall, Ron’s wife meets Denver and sees him

through God’s eyes of compassion. When Deborah is diagnosed with cancer

she charges Ron with the mission of saving Denver. From this request, an

extraordinary friendship forms between Denver and Ron, changing them both

forever.
