The annual German Heritage Day gathering is on July 15, Sunday, 2007,
from 3 to 6 p.m. at the new Fredericksburg Event Center on Tivydale Road
off Hwy 16 South. It usually brings together about 100 persons who
enjoy German Gemuetlichkeit. It starts immediately at 3 p.m. with an old
fashioned German Kaffeeklatsch and Homemade Fredericksburg Peach Cobbler.
Some speak German but most don't; but everyone enjoys the fun and
fellowship; hear reports on German Heritage projects; at German sing-along
time a song sheet is passed out and the music this year will be the Dutch Treat
Duo; and dancing for those who want to do that. A Silent Auction raises
funds for the projects such as the proposed Glockenspiel on Fredericksburg's
Market Square, the German Archives & Special Collections at the Digital
Library of Texas Tech University at Fredericksburg, and other things.
It concludes by 6 p.m. after a fine German meal honoring the late Alex
Frantzen of the old City Cafe and his signature dish (surprise!) that starts
about 4:30 p.m. Cost is $15 per person, includes meal and light drinks. Cash
bar for beer and wine.
