Happy Fasnacht Day!

New Orleans has Fat Tuesday. Brazil has Carnaval. Pennsylvania (more specifically, Pennsylvania Dutch country) has Fastnacht Day. Fastnachts = fried slabs of dough = doughnuts. So who really wins? On Lent’s eve, you may get crazy drunk, ride floats, and wear thongs but everyone close enough to Lancaster County has a day dedicated to eating doughnuts!
