The crew at Trinity Lutheran Church in Faribault did another great job on the community lunch. I tried the ground up meat and added some BBQ sauce and it was great. Carly had the sloppy joe. And of course they had a super selection of desserts as you will see below.

I also like the way they changed the flow of people around this year using the entrance off of 4th St. I think that was a super idea. My hats off to all those that worked on this and those other community businesses that support you in this event.
