Texas Wendish Festival (Sept 27th - Sunday)

[dalthauser]

I'm going to check out the Texas Wendish Festival next Sunday.  It's held in Serbin Texas which is just under 100 miles from New Braunfels - and just over 100 miles from Houston.

The Wendish people came to Texas to escape persecution (mostly religious).  They originated in the Eastern Germany area I think.  The goal was to preserve the culture here in Texas; however, it is all but lost.  The yearly festival is mostly a tribute to these people and their culture.

I so wish Marcel could come with me, but the restaurant is open on Sunday. 

Anyone else in my area who plans to go - let me know, and we can meet there!

Ah, man, I'm in the mood for a festival, too!

However, we don't know what city we are going to be waking up in on Sunday, so that would make a difference.
