We are honored to be a part of this โ€œHappy Festivalโ€. This year marks our 3rd year and we are looking forward to many more. We are bringing an extra supply truck with Schnitzel, Potato Pancakes, Cream Puffs and soooo much more. Looking forward to seeing all today and/or tomorrow. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

As we begin to kick off this yearโ€™s Oldenburg Freudenfest, letโ€™s take a moment to reflect on our โ€œwhyโ€ we have our beloved festival.

โœจFreudenfesters, did know it takes a total of 1๏ธโƒฃ2๏ธโƒฃ days of setup, festival fun, and cleanup to put on a successful Freudenfest each and every year?!
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป We call that the โ€œ12 ๐’…๐’‚๐’š๐’” ๐’๐’‡ ๐‘ญ๐’“๐’†๐’–๐’…๐’†๐’๐’‡๐’†๐’”๐’•!โ€

And throughout the duration from the early planning stages to setup up/cleanup and throughout the duration of the festival, nearly 250 volunteers come together to put on the best festival there ever was! We truly have some great folks in our community โ€” It takes a village, and we have the best!

๐Ÿ’กDid you also know that the first Freudenfest wasnโ€™t actually named Freudenfestโ€ฆ It was actually a local gathering of friends and family to celebrate the 200th Birthday of the United States in 1976.

The people of Oldenburg, had such a great time that year that they decided to continue to gather to celebrate their German heritage by holding the first ever Oldenburg Freudenfest in 1977.

And thatโ€™s how the Freud was born and since then has attracted thousands of festival goers around the world to a town of 700-some villagers, tripling the size of the original layout of the festival and making it ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎโ€™๐˜€ ๐—•๐—œ๐—š๐—š๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง-๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—น - ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—™๐—จ๐—ก and the best darn festival this side of the pond!

โ€” So many people that we have folks coming from 30 states and 5 countries afar! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Who would have thought that a little town nestled away in the rolling hills of Franklin County could attract a vast array number of folks to a festival of that was started with just a few friendly neighbors and their families who had a vision in celebrating their German heritage. ๐Ÿคฏ

Itโ€™s an event surely not to be missed and guaranteed total fun for family and friends of all ages!

Next year we will celebrate our 50th celebration & the 250th of the United States of America!๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

We are looking forward to welcome all of you to our Authentic German Food trailer. Our 3rd year and we so excited to be back. See you tomorrow ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

โœจโ€˜Twas the night before Freudenfest, when all through the Village
Not a fester was stirring, not even an Otis;
Beer trailers lined the streets filled with kegs handled with care,
In hopes that Freudenfesters soon would be there;
Smells of sauerkraut and chicken embedded the air providing a promising comfort that Freudenfest was near,
While visions of sauerkraut balls danced in their heads;
The tents were set up of colors of bright red and yellow, with tables and chairs awaiting the festers,
For tomorrow night, thousands would reunite, laughing and dancing well into the night!

Happy Freudenfest Eve, Festers! We will see you all tomorrow!

1๏ธโƒฃ day Freudenfesters!
