Marianne Trivalos

Sadly, Marianne Trivalos, passed away on Monday November 24. I took the photo on the left this year at German Fest here in Milwaukee. I thought it was so nice to see 3 generations all actively engaged in sharing their heritage with visitors to the fest. Marianne was very proud of her daughter, Heidi, and granddaughter, Maria, and they were always at her side. They will miss her deeply, but most of all her dedicated husband, Dick, will miss her most. They were married for 51 years. You seldom saw one without the other close by. They did almost everything together. Please click here to read the death notice on line at the Journal Sentinal and sign the guestbook with your memories of Marianne.

Marianne was very involved in the German-American community for many years. She and her husband, Dick, were among the original German Fest directors when it started 28 years ago. But she had held the position of Secretary in the German-American Societies for over 25 years before that. Many of you probably remember her from the Saturday morning German classes and are greatful to her for having taught you the German language where she was both a teacher and principal. She was always there with a helping hand as a member of the Bayerischer Vergnuegungs Club.


Our family will miss seeing her out in her garden in the summer and we will no longer be able to wave to her as we drive by. But most of all we will miss her smiling face at the Bavarian Inn making sure the Pretzel booth ran smoothly. Marianne we will miss you!!!


Funeral arrangements are as follows.

Berstetaler in West Bend

Last night we went to the concert in West Bend at the Cinema Brew Haus. There were two showtimes and we went to the 4 pm show (there was another one at 7 pm). Peggy Mueller & Familie started off the show, and as usual, they delivered a fine performance.

The Berstetaler Blasmusikanten followed and played from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm with one intermission. If Blasmusik is your thing, then this is the band for you. It is a fine group of musicians who come from the Brandenburg part of Germany.

They will be playing at the Bavarian Inn today at 2 pm to 6 pm. But our friend, Peggy Mueller, will be starting out the afternoon with her special brand of music at noon.

Don't forget, today is Sunday and Bavarian Inn is offering FREE ADMISSION to all seniors on Sunday.

I have a little slide show below of last night's performance, if it stops before you get to see all the pictures, just click on the X in the right courner of the frame and it will start again.

Berstetaler Musikanten in West Bend

Thanks to Peggy Mueller for letting us know that the Berstetaler Blasmusikanten from Germany will be doing a special performance in West Bend on Saturday, September 13. We are happy that they included Wisconsin in their 14 day tour in the U.S. while they celebrate their 10 year anniversary. Check out their website and see what they are all about.

Yes, I know that they are also appearing at the Bavarian Inn Oktoberfest on Sunday, but I thought if some people were not able to make the Sunday performance they might like the details for this Saturday performance.

There will be 2 shows on Saturday. They are being sponsored by WTKM and Richard Feutz from WTKM Radio provided some details for us. These will be 2 nice shows where you have a comfortable seat and can enjoy the music.

There is one show at 3:30 pm and the other show starts at 6:30 pm. The first half hour of the show features our own Peggy Mueller on her button box. Then the show continues with the Berstetaler Blasmusikanten.

Each show is only $5.00.
