Schnellville Community Club Hosts Lenten Fish Fry Drive-Thru Fundraiser March 13

Schnellville Community Club is organizing a drive‑thru Lenten fish fry that local announcements disagree on: one schedule lists Saturday, March 13, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. with dinners priced at $13 per plate, while a separate listing from 18 WJTS gives Friday, March 25 at 4:30 p.m. and $12 per plate, adding that service will run until sold out. Both notices describe the event as drive‑thru only and name the Schnellville Community Club as the organizer.

The March 13 listing, which includes the year 2026, states each plate will include two fish fillets and German‑style fries, but the published text is truncated before the full side items are listed. The 18 WJTS announcement fills out the menu, saying plates will consist of fish fillets, German fries, slaw, and dessert, though that notice does not specify the number of fillets per plate. The WJTS page also gives its newsroom contact for questions at (812) 482-2727 and gm@dcbroadcasting.com.

Operational details in both announcements emphasize drive‑thru pickup only and a 4:30 p.m. start time. Only the WJTS listing explicitly adds that food will be served until sold out, which could matter for families planning dinner or volunteers estimating how many plates to prepare.

Local fish‑fry tradition suggests turnout can be substantial. Reporting from the Dubois County Herald on other parish fundraisers noted Holy Trinity’s fish fry, held this year on Feb. 16 and March 2, is one of the largest in the county, with "each fish fry, about 1,700 plates are sold," a parish source identified as Jason said. The Herald also reported more than 30 volunteers prepared food at Divine Mercy Parish on Feb. 16, "including Michele Kordes of St. Anthony, from right, James Kelley of Schnellville, Kelly Schroering of St. Anthony and Janet Lubbers of St. Anthony," and quoted Kordes, "We try to have fun with it," linking fish fries to volunteer community fundraising such as mission trips.

Key facts remain to be confirmed for Schnellville: the event date, final price per plate, whether each plate includes two fillets, and whether slaw and dessert are included. The Dubois County Free Press lists the Schnellville Community Club hosting a Lenten fish fry but the listing excerpt does not specify date, time, or price. Until the Schnellville Community Club confirms details, neighbors should note both published versions show the same start time and a drive‑thru format, and plan for possible sell‑out. This article will be updated when the Club provides confirmation of date, price, menu, pickup location, and any beneficiary for the fundraiser.
