After a lil' fire and some obscure COVID event, the Wurstfest grounds are just about ready to receive the annual pilgrimage of thousands who come out looking for a good time and enjoy German music and all kinds of really good festival food. Looking forward to that. It'll take place starting on the Friday before the opening of general gun season and last through the following week. It's free to get in Monday through Thursday. The venerable 118 year old Wursthalle is looking pretty snappy with its new roof. We are hoping the new Marketplatz is a game changer. No public funds used (zero). Didn't do nothing to the waterfall. Didn't need anything anways and pardon my fingertip.

14 acres, five music venues, six places to secure beverages, food options galore all for what is typically a clean, good natured and like minded patronage looking for a good time.

The grounds (all 14 acres) look good and we are just about ready The Grose Zelt (our 2nd largest music venue) has been enlarged and reconfigured. They told me to fill this bar cooler up Mission accomplished The selection is pretty good. This is half of one bar. If Kyle and Payne attend, I made sure they wouldn't have to do without.

16 ounce pours are $7 for domestic and $9 for imports and, of course, Shiner products are domestic.

I think the last time I was there was in the early 1970's.

Plan is wife and I hit Wurstfest this evening. Will be looking for following food items - sausage on a stick, shrimp on a stick, chocolate eclair, and wash it all down with a cold Shiner Bock.

Half over, the Festival is going great guns. The weather has been ever so "cooperative". The new Marketplatz has helped to relieve congestion and improve flows. Vendors are knocking it out of the park. Lots of peoples finding the good times they have been looking for. The pent up demand is obvious. The almost total lack of masks has also been saliently obvious.
Prost peoples, prost!
