Making Fastnachts at the Goodwill Fire Company in Trexlertown

Volunteers bake more than 3,000 dozen of the traditional spring donuts. That's 36,000 donuts!

It's Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras, call it what you will. But Lent begins tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, and goodies such as these traditional fried cake-y treats are supposed to be few and far between. 

Our photo gallery this week takes a look at the volunteers who bake fastnachts at the Goodwill Fire Co. in Trexlertown. They got together March 5 to make sure everyone gets a bite.
