Tri County German Club's 23rd annual Maifest was held on Tuesday evening, March 9. For the second year in a row, our last major work day and our dress rehearsal was snowed out. Nonetheless, the evening was a great success! We served approximately 400 German-style meals, and sold lots of Kuchen and imported candy. The Oompah Band was a great hit once again, and the Maifest program was fun and entertaining! German Club would like to thank everyone who was involved in Maifest for all their time and hard work!

	Included in the "School Skit" was a goofy version of the Happy Birthday Song, sung for Jill R. who really did have her birthday that day!

 Tradition dictates that the Maifest program should always close with a fairy tale! This year, that fairy tale was "Snow White and Rose Red." Take a look!

	There was once a poor widow who lived in a small cottage in the woods. She had two daughters: one was called Snow White, and the other Rose Red. They were as good and happy as ever two children in the world were.
	One night, there was a knock at the cottage door. It was bear, cold and snow-covered. He was looking for a warm place to spend the night.
	The widow and the two girls invited the bear to sleep in front of their fire. Rose Red and Snow White carefully brush the snow off the friendly bear.
	Henceforth, the bear came every evening at the same time and laid himself down by the fire. The widow and her daughters worried when he didn't appear on time.
	One day, the two girls were collecting wood in the forest,
	when they heard a strange sound. It was a dwarf, whose long grey beard was caught under a log.
	There was nothing to do but to cut a bit of the beard off! The dwarf was furious!
	It wasn't long before the girls had occassion to go into the forest again. And who should they find, but the same nasty, crabby dwarf! His beard had become tangled in his fishing line.
	Oh no! Once again, the only thing that could be done was to snip off part of the dwarf's beard. The dwarf stomped off in a huff, and Rose Red and Snow White went further into the woods to go fishing.
	On their way back to the cottage, the two girls happened upon the old dwarf as he was counting his treasure.
	Aha! All that gold didn't belong to the dwarf at all, but to the friendly bear who slept in front of the fire.
	Once the bear had recovered his treasure, the spell was broken, and he turned into a handsome prince.
	The bear-turned-prince claimed Snow White as his bride. But what about Rose Red?!
	Never fear! The bear had a brother!
	And so they all lived happily ever after!
