PHOTO OF THE DAY: EXCUSE ME; PASSING THROUGH

With boxes in hand for guests to use, Janelle Ortman navigates the large crowd assembled at the Schmeckfest Country Kitchen last Saturday afternoon, March 26 — the first day of the walk-in sales. That’s something that will take place again today from 2 to 7 p.m. inside a curtained-off space in the Sterling Hall auditorium that Schmeckfest organizers were planning to expand to accommodate a large crowd. Sausage will also be for sale in the adjacent maintenance building, and take-out “mini meals” (preordered) and other bulk food sales will also be available.
