2022 Das Fest

 Friday, August 5, 2022

I had suggested Sail Loft for our Friday dining out to take advantage of their outdoor seating during this pleasant weather.  Peter suggested going to Das Fest in Elkhorn, where we would have not only food, but outdoor seating and entertainment.  I could not disagree with that.

We had parking reserved for disabled and seniors, which was convenient, and we were early, so there were not that many people.  We went through the merchandise barn where Peter found a German V-necked tee shirt he'd like.  He didn't want to carry anything around, so he planned to buy it on our way out.  We were each carrying a stein, that was enough to carry.

I read my blog from last year, so we planned ticket buying accordingly, to avoid having left-over tickets.  Peter bought two tickets, enough to share a 12-oz. cup to Leinenkugel.  We found a nice shady area and watched the Live Glockenspiel.

We caught the first set of Alte Kameraden, but it was steamy hot in the tent.

It was much cooler in an open shady area with a light breeze cooling us off.  We enjoyed a couple of other bands before looking for something to eat.  We didn't find the vendor that sold the sausage we had last year, but settled on a kilometer sausage in a French roll for me and leberkaese in a French roll for Peter that we enjoyed with another cup of beer.

Alas, Peter could not find the shirt he had planned to buy on our way out.  Perhaps it was for the better; maybe it wouldn't have fit.
