At sundown Friday, about 1.2 percent of Louisvillians began fasting in observance of Yom Kippur. If you’re not a part of the hungry few, this weekend can be very delicious, and philanthropic. The Germantown-Schnitzelberg neighborhoods are hosting two special cookout events that give proceeds to good causes.
The fourth annual Dream Factory Pig Roast [4] will be held Saturday, as well as the first annual Germantown-Schnitzelberg BBQ Competition [5]. The suckling roast will be spinning at AmVets Post 1 in Schnitzelberg. All proceeds go to benefit the Dream Factory [6], an organization that grants dreams of children with critical and chronic illnesses.
The roast alone sounds like dream-come-true enough, but I’m a Jew that doesn’t keep kosher yet fasts on Yom Kippur – drooling already.
