*Winterfest 2016 is Thursday, December 1st 6-8pm*
EHS Winterfest (formally Oktoberfest) is held annually in January. Winterfest is a fund-raiser to raise money for students travelling to German with our GAPP program.
Winterfest is a dinner/dance fundraiser. Happy Hans, a local german band (see button below for link to their website) comes and plays for us. There is a good mix of traditional and fun music - can you say "Chicken Dance?" Students are taught traditional dances during school and can show off their moves for extra credit at the fundraiser.
For dinner guests can expect delicious Bratwurst from local Bavarian Meats, pretzel rolls from Hess Bakery, potato as well as green salad, Sauerkraut (of course!) and Apple Strudel for dessert! :) Yum! (Leftovers will be sold during class as long as supplies last)
In addition to dinner and dancing, Bavarian pictures are included with your entrance ticket (see pictures below). There are also activities for kids, including Fingerhakeln (finger tug-of-war) and a craft table (where kids can decorate their own paper gingerbread hearts). This year there will also be a raffle (benefiting GAPP) as well as crafts sold by the students! Remember to bring cash or your checkbook!
All profits go to EHS students travelling to Germany!
