With perfect weather friends and members of Holy Trinity went on a Saturday excursion to a small town west of St Louis to participate in the observance of the German day tradition. Craftsmen and women (and children) recreated the life of the early German (and non-German) settlers in the area. The food and the entertainment was splendid even though the memory of the German ancestors had somewhat faded, judging by the attempted German translation below. The little sausages maker gave a convincing demonstration and the taste was just right.
