Schmidt's Bakery is going to sell tens of thousands of their signature treats this President's Day weekend.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - The cherry thing-a-lings are back.

Schmidt Bakery in Batesville is now selling their coveted cherry-glazed fritters as they do once a year on President’s Day weekend.

Last year, the bakery sold 82,908 thing-a-lings. Sales have been brisk to start this year’s sale, too.
