thanks to all for the suggestions. they were really good! we’ve decided to do a brat/dog roast after both masses with beans and macaronni salad. should go over well. our tiny little town only has a couple restaurants and ALL the parishioners like to do something different after mass! hopefully it will go over well, no ticket sales or other pre-sales necessary, and the entire parish is involved. the only involvement from other parents will be i’ll need two or three to help prep stuff and refill. using throw away plates and the boy scout troop at school is responsible for clean up. should be pretty easy!
