KroppKakor at Spring Lake Church

A couple cute swedish girls meet every year on these church steps every fall for Kropp Kakor! Around our area the Scandanavians and Germans pull out their best recipes and put on a feast at our home town churches. People far and wide come for these feasts for all good reasons! Here at Spring Lake (Swedish! don't ya know) Lutheran, the ladies have made these potato dumplings every fall for 60 plus years and people actually pay to eat them!!

There was a story being passed around the church for us to read and it told that in 1937 the Luther League wanted to help contribute to the remodeling of the church and the League broke into two groups to see who could come up with great ideas and raise the most money.
The groups named themselves, "The Eastern Strivers" and the Plucky West". Each side sponsored many socials with an admission price. Fun times and good fellowship and creative meetings lead up to a Mom's suggestion of a Kropp Kakor dinner and the Leaguers loved the idea!! And here I was tonight!!! Carrying on the old tradition of eating lead balls!! Buying cranberry orange relish at the bake sale and of course taking pictures! A Swedish girl exclaimed, Uff Da! Most people do, I ignore them! And wouldn't you know it... I saw some folks from way out west of Cambridge!! Nearly Princeton for Luther's sake!

Potato balls with sausage or pork in the inside.

I ate three!! Mike the mailman ate 8!!
