Tom Varney's Retirement Party

Tom Varney had a great Retirement party last night. Tom & his wife, June, have always honored their German heritage and what a great setting for his Retirement party -- German Fest. They held it in the VIP area of the Harley Stage, so throughout the party we were entertained by the Schmalzler on stage. Anyone that went home from this party hungary or thirsty... it was your own fault.

Next time you see June, ask her how she likes peeling onions. Its a great story! Tom & June plan to spend retirement traveling and their goal is to visit 100 different countries.

It was a great party and thanks for inviting us.

Well, all you Bavarians here in the states are really in for a treat at German Fest this year. The Schmalzlers will be entertaining the crowds all 4 days this year. Here is a little slide show, just so you will recognize them better when you go to German Fest. Hopefully, they will have their latest album along (pictured above), Mit leib und Seel a Musikant. It features the song they competed with in this year's Grand Prix der Volksmusik . If you would like to see that performance, look further down on this website and you can click on the video of Kleine Marcella. Also, if you do not want to miss any of their appearances, they are listed above.
