Get your Dirndls and Lederhosen ready for Maifest in Leavenworth on Saturday, May 11, 2024.
Come up for just the day or make sure to make your reservations at one of the many hotels that accept dogs if you want to stay the weekend. Der Ritterhof Hotel where we have the BBQ, Silent Auction and Dog Games after the parade have made available more dog friendly rooms so give them a call. Marie at the hotel is very helpful.
The City of Leavenworth wants all participants in the parade to dress in Bavarian/ German/Swiss attire. They want us to look like we are walking in a parade not just out walking our dogs in our street clothes. So if you would like to walk with us in the parade, please get a dirndl, lederhosen or something that resembles them. Put together a skirt/pants, white shirt with some flowers or flowery hats, etc. Also decorate your dogs and carts. If you can’t find anything, then we please ask that you watch from the sidelines and come prepared next year!
There will be a BBQ (brauts, hotdogs, chips, pop, cookies, water) after the parade at Der Ritterhof with the silent auction ongoing and dog games after the BBQ.
Please RSVP for the BBQ ($5.00 each payable at the BBQ).
Also we will be looking for volunteers to help with the BBQ, dog games and silent auction and people to bring items for the auction. Contact Michele Guerrini guerrini@aol.com 206-979-9147 (call or text)
