Estelle Waltner, a freshman at Freeman Academy, removes cheese pockets from their boiling bath of water as she and others prepare the popular ethnic food for Schmeckfest Saturday morning, Feb. 18 in the Pioneer Hall kitchen and dining hall. Volunteers were at it Friday evening, too, preparing the ingredients for assembly. Two hundred dozen will be made today, and another 200 dozen will be made next Friday and Saturday. All will be sold at Schmeckfest on March 24 and 25.
