Only in Arkansas

could you have a non-alcoholic event celebrating German heritage, but Lutheran High has apparently been doing it for years. When Maddie heard that we were going to an Oktoberfest where they didn't serve beer, she said, "Well, that's not right." It was a pleasant, well-run little festival and fundraiser for the school, but it wasn't very German. The wiener dog race was pretty funny, though.

Tomorrow is my first Sunday at the new church. Should be fun. Should be interesting. Hope everyone else who gathers for worship feels the same way.
