The city of Sunset Hills invites the public to a celebration of its German founding fathers next week. All are welcome to the plaza of the Sunset Hills Community Center, 3915 South Lindbergh Blvd., from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, to eat, drink and be merry.

The music of the Joe Polach & the St. Louis Express Band will provide entertainment, and food and drinks will be available on site.

Food will be for sale and furnished by members of Heartland Industries. Barbecued hamburgers, hotdogs, bratwurst and chips will be for sale at a nominal fee, with a portion of the proceeds going to this local nonprofit sheltered workshop.

The St. Louis Express band specializes in ethnic music, especially polkas and waltzes, but also plays a variety of American standard songs, country, and rock ‘n’ roll.  So bring your dancing shoes, as well as your own lawn chair to rest up between dances.

Beer and wine will also be for sale, with a portion of these proceeds going to the Sunset Hills Historical Society.

Located in nearby Green Park, Heartland Industries’ mission is to provide quality contract packaging business services.
