When we lived in Germay, Facshing season really began in earnst with parties galore at 11:00 p.m. on 11 Nov the year preceding. The new Fasching King and Queen would be crowned. Throughout the Holiday season and into Karneval, festivities would be everywhere! The German Fastnachten were the best in the world!

What I can't understand here is...why in the world does Shippensburg hold their Annual Fasching Dinner after Lent begins? Who wants to eat a beef after Lent and before Easter? That is not the time for partying.

Oh, but give me some real fastnachten!
