MENTZ — The 169th Annual Mentz Picnic out at St. Roch’s Catholic Church in Mentz was the place to be this weekend.
Kicking off Oct. 1 with a Sac- rifice of the Mass, the pits had been fired up long before many
people went to bed the night before.
The barbecue beef, pork and sausage had people lined up while the kids played with an ev - er-expanding play area. Blue Denim kept everyone awake after the fill-your-plate meal and the live auction was brisk.
Get ready for the 170th annual picnic because it can't get much better than this, but let's find out.
