Schunkelfest 2022
This morning we met around the Glockenspiel for the 8th Annual Schunkelfest!
It was the most well-attended one we had so far, with over 100 people in attendance.
This is the weekend of our Bavarian Blast.

It’s a fun time for the whole community!
Even the New Ulm Narren showed up to join in the fun!
Out for Good
Three businesses closed their doors recently in my city of New Ulm, MN.
A place called Sozial was where I took my Spring Break with hubby when the going was tough.
Its doors are permanently closed.
Sozial is now a food truck.
Mona Lena is closed.
Yesterday I drove past Clark. Closed. Shut down. Sad.
I made a small video of the sad occasion.
After swimming at the local rec center we went out for ice cream!
Love and support the small mom and pop businesses in your town because it’s always sad when they can’t survive.
Some businesses do very well if there is a market for them.
P.S. Each Saturday I will focus on a “This is where I live, and this is why it’s special,” segment of my blog.
Fitness Paradise
Today and every day I get to go workout and go swimming! 🏊♂️
I love to swim!
I joined our local community recreation center!
The recreation center director was kind enough to have one of the employees give my husband and I the grand tour.
Spin classes. a specially treated comfy walking track, a giant pool and exercise equipment, all at our disposal!
All that swimming made me hungry!
Municipal Band Music
We really enjoyed the sounds of our Municipal band last night!
My favourite was the medley from Meredith Wilson’s, “The Music Man.”
I found out Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are performing that Hollywood musical on Broadway!
My own music duo Molly and Sonny Boy (me and hubby Jim) will be performing here at German Park on June 20, 2022!
Here is a sample of our original music!
Our Ambassadors
We have an all-male vocal group in New Ulm called the Concord Singers.
Their title is New Ulm’s Ambassadors of Goodwill.
Last night we went to hear them perform at German Park.
The group has been in the area for over 90 years
It’s a nod to our German Heritage here in my hometown of New Ulm, Minnesota!
Each summer the Concord Singers are a part of an annual celebration called Bavarian Blast.
