Sunday at German Fest

Sunday was the last day of German Fest 2008. I was lucky enough to help the Sandlers/Die Fichtler Buam sell their CDs during the fest. They were a very energetic band and by Sunday they already had their own following. If you were one of the people who enjoyed the Sandlers/Die Fichtler Buam, you can see them one more time before they return to Germany in Toledo, Ohio at the German-American Festival on August 22, 23 & 24. Click on the link and you will see our own Peggy Mueller is also playing at the German-American Festival. If you look at the Friday report below, it has a picture of Peggy & Peter when the Sandlers/Die Fichtler Buam surprised her during her performance on the Musikanten Garten stage, along with the leader of the Milwaukee Blaskapelle, Andy Hacker.

Saturday at German Fest

Saturday at German Fest is always party night and everywhere you looked the party was going strong. In the morning, Edith Prock, was on our local TV and you can see some of those pictures along with others taken if you click HERE. The link will take you to webshots into the Saturday German Fest album. This year there was a live Tarzen in the culture tent representing the famous German-American, Johnny Weissmueller, and there are pictures that you can see if you click HERE.

It was also parade day. There were many, many local German groups participating in the parade and even some of the German stars were invited to be in the parade. The weather was absolutely perfect and we alll had a great "party" yesterday.

2008 German Fest - Friday

On Friday the fest opened its doors at 3 pm. I handed out a lot of cards with the web address of this blog and if I took a picture of you will find it by click HERE. The link takes you to an album in Webshots and you can easily download any pictures you would like.

I was at the Musikgarden when Milwaukee's popular musician, Peggy Mueller, was surprised by the Sandlers. They came carrying their instruments so they could PLAY with Peggy (and nephew, Andy, on the tuba). They never practiced before and they played together flawlessly. Now that's Muscians!!! If you haven't seen the Sandlers yet, be sure to see them tonight (Saturday) at the Miller stage. It is sure to be a PARTY!!!
