We make this a public event, so most of the cost goes into the marketing budget. Not too many decorations. We clear a corner of the dinning room for a 6 piece German band who come in full German dress. They play for an hour and we serve residents, and then the public. When the band is finished playing, we give them dinner. There are always door prizes, and we usually have a yodeling contest. This is the 5th year for us. : : What are people doing for an

: Pretty low key event - decorations (German flags, banner, etc.), red/white chequered tablecloths. Our food services will serve a German lunch (bratwurst, sauerkraut, Black Forest cake, etc.). In the afternoon we'll have a German singer with accordian and serve non-alc. beer, root beer and chips.
