Jacob Hunsinger, President of the Mansfield Liederkranz was happy to hear that the DVHH will be a part of this year's Treffen; of which the DVHH booth will be in the same location as in 2007 and that we were a great hit with the Liederkranz members as well as visitors. Herr Hunsinger said this year is a competition year and they expect a much larger crowd than the last time.

Tanzwettbewerb means that there is a competition between all the groups that go the Trachtenfest.  Every city is allowed 15 minutes of song, dance, speaking in German,  poems, their trachts, etc.  Whoever has the most points will win what is called the “Awender Cultural Prize” which is first place.

Additional information and hotel accommodations will be posted in the near future.

Mark your calendars and plan to attend this Labor day weekend Sept 2-4th.  The friendship meet and greet will be Friday, Sept 2nd in the evening; and Sat and Sun events begin at 10 am.  Come out and join the fun and have a taste of your ancestors traditions.  Experience Donauschwaben food, music and dancing.  Meet fellow family researchers, you may even find a new cousin! 

The DVHH booth will be open only Saturday, so please stop by to meet our representatives and don't forget to sign our guest book.
