They're sweet, they look like chicken wings and pretty much everyone loves them.

Every Presidents’ Day weekend, thousands flood the town of Batesville, Indiana for one thing.

The Cherry “Thing-A-Ling.”

This crazy-delicious, chicken wing looking fritter has been a fan favorite of Schmidt Bakery since the 70s and they’re only available one weekend a year. We stopped by to see what the hype was all about and hear the story for ourselves.

Wanna get some for yourselves? Call 812-934-4501 to place an order (to be shipped), or just stop by the store from Thursday – Monday. After that, they’ll be gone for another year.

“ALL SHIPPING ORDERS must be called directly to the Bakery Deadline for shipping orders are as follows Tuesday, Feb. 11th – called in before Feb. 10th 5pm., or until we reach maximum shipping amounts. Tuesday, Feb. 18th – called in before Feb. 17th 5pm., or until we reach maximum shipping amounts.”
