Beef and noodle dinner Friday evening at St. John's UCC
St. John's United Church of Christ will serve an "eat in" or tailgate out" beef and noodle dinner from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 22, at the church on the corner of Jackson and College Avenue.
It's billed as a "quick supper before the Bluffton-Paulding football game at Harmon Field." Tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for students and free for children 4 and under.
According to those preparing the meal, the beef is homegrown in Bluffton; the noodles are handmade. Also on the menu are never-fail mashed potatoes and special bacon-onion-almond seasoned green beans. There will be a choice of Gramma's fruit or vegetable gelatin.
Pie selections included Evelyn's raisin, Sara's lemon meringue, Mary Alice's southern pecan, Barbaba's mixed berry and Mary Ann's chocolate cream, plus other prize-winning apple, cherry and pumpkin.
Brownies, cookies and sheet cake are also available.
Ten dozen eggs went into the recipe for the homemade noodles on Oct. 4, at the home of Sara McCune. Eight women turned out eight gallons of dried noodles over a two hour, 30 minute stretch.
Noodle makers include Sara McCune, Mary Coletta, Carolyn Gillam, Geniece King, Shirley Rock, Pam Everett, Connie Kempf and Carol Groman.
Proceeds from the dinner go tot he church's "As Needed" fund.
