Lebanon, Pa. -- Preparations for "Fat Tuesday" or what is more commonly referred to as "Fastnacht Day" are underway across our area.
St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Lebanon is now open all hours of the day for people to stop and purchase the sweet pastries. Event organizers say this is the church's largest fundraiser of the year, selling thousands of dozen boxes. This year, the goal is to sell 10,000 dozen boxes; last year they sold around 9, 000 dozen.
Event organizers say customers do have a 5 dozen purchase limit. The church will sell fastnachts around the clock now through Tuesday. On Fastnacht Day, they will close once they sell out.
St. Cecilia's Catholic Church is located at 120 East Lehman Street in Lebanon.
