An enthusiastic crowd of church members and community supporters gathered at Jerusalem Western Salisbury Church, 3441 Devonshire Road, April 19, for a trivia and pop culture contest followed by an old-fashioned Pennsylvania Dutch supper.<\/p>\n
The trivia portion of the gathering was hosted by John Hartzog, who goes by the nickname of \u201cDoc Zog.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hartzog is a former East Penn School District teacher who has been hosting community trivia and pop culture events for organizations across the Lehigh Valley since 1974.<\/p>\n
Trivia fans were divided into teams according to tables where they were seated. Trivia and pop culture questions dealing with events that occurred mostly in the 1950s and 1960s were answered by the participants and scored competitively.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur attendees really got into the competition and the rivalry between teams was intense. It embodied the good-natured fun that goes with remembering our younger years,\u201d Joshua Fink said.<\/p>\n
Fink is a well-known Lehigh Valley historian and is chairperson of the church\u2019s history committee. The church, which dates back to Colonial America, has long been considered a vital part of Salisbury Township\u2019s historical legacy.<\/p>\n
After the entertainment provided by the trivia contest, attendees were able to chose from a fulsome buffet featuring a variety of Pennsylvania Dutch favorite dishes.<\/p>\n
Among the most sought after buffet items were chicken potpie, chow chow relish and cottage cheese covered with apple butter. For dessert, homemade shoofly pie was a favorite.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring our country\u2019s 250th anniversary year it is particularly relevant that we look to our past and remember the times and culture that formed us,\u201d Fink observed.<\/p>\n
