23rd annual Germanfest in Roberts Cove this weekend

ROBERTS COVE - The 23rd annual Roberts Cove Germanfest will be held on the grounds of St. Leo IV Catholic Church Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7 and 8.
Two activities of special interest are in the making for the museum this year at Germanfest:
1) St. Leo School Alumni Reunion; and
2) World War I Remembrance.
The Germanfest will also honor three original families who settled in Roberts Cove — the Arnold Joseph Janssen family, the Joseph Hubert Knipping family and the John Ferdinand Stamm Sr. family.
Activities will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Germanfest features traditional Roberts Cove German foods such as wurst (sausage), kartoffel (potatoes), sauerkraut, zucker platzchen (sugar cookies) and desserts; and also highlights German cultural activities, folklore, music, dancing, and other great food and drinks.
Music from the German bands Alpenmusikanten and Auf Geht's Band invites festival-goers to participate in their entertainment along with the Germanfest Folk Singers and German dancers. A delightful attraction will be Kinder Auftrit, a local children’s dancing and singing group
