Milwaukee
On Saturday, April 26th, the Spielmannszug Milwaukee opened the doors of
Hart Park Hall for their annual Bockbierfest. Many, "regulars" and new
visitors followed the invitation to enjoy a great evening of food, beer and
traditional music from the Alte Kameraden Band. The Drum and Bugle Corps
opened the evening. President Ed Weiss welcomed all the guests and
especially a great supporter of the Spielmannszug Bruce Larson, better known
as Der Kaiser" from Minneapolis. The Danube Cultural Society entertained the
crowd with some wonderful performed dances.
A drinking
contest, with Nonalcoholic beer, decided who would be crowned as the 2008
Bockbier King and Bockbier Queen. The King and Queen are, Nile McKibben and
Keri Scholz. It was tough competition and every participant deserves
recognition, but only the best will be crowned.
A surprise to all
visitors was the appearance of the Milwaukee Brewer sausages who joined in
with the fun and danced like there was no tomorrow. The Alte Kameraden
played for listening and dancing pleasure for the rest of the night. The
evening was a great success and we all look forward to Bockbierfest 2009 on
April 25, 2009.
We want to thank
all of our supporters and hope to see many of you during our Mardi Gras
events. Please visit us also on www.spielmannszug.org.
