For the past sixteen years, a labor of love for husband Jim and myself is the annual

I fix all the food -- for around 100. Brats which I boil in beer (and Rotarians grill them at the site), my German grandmother's hot potato salad and my German grandmother's cole slaw, sauerkraut and for dessert -- apple crisp.
Husband Jim . . . . turns this shelter house in our park into a little bit of Bavaria!

Table decorations -- some of our old ones, others bought at garage sales and flea markets make the tables festive. Oktober is an easy month for decorations!
Banners -- like the Jagermeister banner

And flags, like these German flags add a bit of the feeling of Germany!

Each table has a different tablecloth and a fallish centerpiece.

It's a Rotary party -- for Rotarians and their families -- little children, too and invited guests.

With plenty of beer and wine, it is a fun party!

And we have at least 100 attend this annual party. It's always a good turnout and the evening, as this one was, is always perfect.
Today is Wednesday which means that it's Outdoor Wednesday at Susan's. Join her at
A Southern Daydreamer to see what everyone else is doing outside this Wednesday!

Good for you, preparing all this food. A labor of love, no doubt. Prosit!!
Yes -- the fest was last night. Husband Jim spends the day decorating and I spend the day cooking -- at night we party!
This is our kind of fest. J would absolutely love this!
Looks like a great time! Nothing better than a fresh grilled brat. There are a lot of small German settlements in Central Texas and if we wanted we could "fest" all month! Happy Outdoor Wednesday. Kathy
We've been through Georgetown many times on our way to visit relatives in Austin and Blanco. Love the Hill Country and those German settlements!
They are so much fun!!! And the BEER...don't forget the beer. LOL
Mine today is the Annual Jazz Festival in town. Come by if you can. CLICK HERE
Have a glorious Wednesday.
This looks like a lot of fun. I know it was a lot of work on your part. Happy OW.
The beer and the wine flowed . . . as well as a bottle of Alpen!
What a wonderful job Jim did with the decorations. He's created a beerhall for the rotary. Nice work! Your food sounds perfect, too. Have a great day.
Oom pa pa pa!! That looks like a great fest. You certainly know how to celebrate - very authentic!
That looks like a lot of fun (and a lot of work)! Thanks for stopping by our blog!
How wonderful! Obviously this takes a lot of time, but I'm sure you enjoy it.
