Funnel Cake Trailer

 

On Monday, April 21, a Matins crew began the job of cleaning, repairing, and generally preparing the trailer to be ready to sell our funnel cakes. President Kester went on an 11.5 hour trip to St. Louis and back to pick up 1,000 lbs. of funnel cake flour. Some additional work remains to be done, but it looks like we will be ready for our first date, the Garden Extravaganza on Saturday, May 3, in downtown Marshalltown. Then it’s off to the Iowa Veterans Home on Tuesday, May 20.
