Lily, 9, and Sidney Bacon, 7, have their hearts set on cupcakes at ShroveFest, a pre-Lenten gathering at Messiah Lutheran Church in Fairview Park March 8.
ShroveFest, named after the day in England when people were “shriven,” or absolved from their sins after confession, was intended as a family-friendly Fat Tuesday celebration.
Will Ellerbruch, Tim Szczepinski and Ruth King work in the kitchen grilling brats and boiling spaetzle.
