Friday, October 11
Erntedankfest  (PVF Meetings)
6:00 pm
Lindenwood

PLEASE NOTE DAY AND TIME CHANGE! Americans are used to thinking of the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving. Increasingly, it’s commonly called “Turkey Day” and football takes center stage. However, Erntedankfest, the Pomeranian thanksgiving celebration was a much more traditional harvest festival, and it continues in many parts of Germany today.

Join us as we celebrate Erntedankfest, with traditions, food, drink and music. The evening begins with a social time at 6:00 p.m., followed by a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. The Pommersche Spaldeel, our sister group, will lead the entertainment, including the traditional harvest parade. Bring a potluck dish to pass. You may also bring a decorated tool for the harvest parade. Come and join in the harvest celebration!
