The Three Blind Mice.
Members and guests of the SCC German-American Club filled Sun City Center Community Hall Feb. 4 for the club’s annual Fasching party. They spent several hours dining and dancing to the music of Manni Daum & Co., a German band from Cape Coral.
Guests costumed for the Three Blind Mice, a Confederate officer with his Southern belle, a prison guard with his prisoner (to name a few) prompted applause and chuckles around the room as they paraded for judging. Prizes were given in individual/couple/group categories.
By the way, did you know that Fasching/Mardi Gras is associated with an ancient pagan belief that if you wore an ugly mask and danced around, you could drive out the evil spirits of winter and encourage the coming of spring and a good year for the crops and farm animals?
