For anyone living near Milwaukee, WI, German Fest is happening this coming weekend, July 29-31 at the lakefront. There will be oomp-pah-pah music, yodeling, great food, people dressed in authentic German dress, food, dancing, food, and desserts and chocolate. There is a live enactment of a "glockenspiel"(?), which is hilarious, as four men in lederhosen act like wooden figures and sound the bells in time with the music, and then it goes faster and faster. They also do the hand-slapping, leg-slapping thing. Sorry, don't know what it's called. There is also a genealogy area in a tent with helpful people for your questions. Hope you can come!
