German Fest

Tweet

I went to the big German Festival called German Fest in Dayton yesterday. I haven't been to a festival in years, so it was fun to go. I went with my two sons. My daughter in law was there, she is the event coordinator. She was busy but came by several times. It was the last day of a three day event. We went in the afternoon and had a nice German meal at the main tent. It was great. There was a small band, just an accordion player, a tuba player and one playing clarinet. So enjoyable. Later we walked around to see the booths, stopping at the main music tent for a while to listen to the big band on stage and watching the dancers. One older couple reminded me of watching my parents dance together. I wish I had movies of my parents dancing. I always loved to watch them. Before we left we bought ice cream from a speciality vendor. I picked a new flavor, Red Raspberry. Delicious and very refreshing by then! The beer tents were everywhere. I had planned on buying a mug of beer because when in Rome.....haha! But we never did get around to it. So far it's my biggest event for the month of August. My New Year's resolutions are still going strong, attend a big event at least once a month. It's not as big an event as seeing a broadway show or a concert, but it's along the same idea and just as much fun.
