97LAV Wurstfest
2011 Wrap-Up from Steve

What a beautiful day for an October Festival in Michigan. Wurstfest has everything to offer for the families and for the party animals. You knew when you walked in that first & foremost this was a Bratwurst Festival. Dick’s Market guys on the grills and our girls serving the “Best Brats” were located right at the gate. The beer tent area was behind us and we kept busy serving from all sides. The award-winning original Bratwurst never ran out but the flavor varieties such as Bacon Cheddar and Red Bell Pepper w/Onion sold out quickly.

A variety of bands filled the air with music. They played country rock & hillbilly blues to the beer tent partiers whose numbers just kept growing all day. The piercing sound of the pumpkin launcher would occasionally startle everyone when it would send another pumpkin to the next county.

Later in the day the ghouls came out early. You would see one of these hideous monsters from the haunted woods sneak up on an unsuspecting festival-goer and make them scream-like-a-girl. Many folks took the sunshine-filled hayride out to the corn maze, which at night also turns haunted along with the woods.

Maybe somewhere in this great land of ours there might be a festival that comes close, but anyone who went to the Lenhart farm on this fantastic fall day will tell you the Wurst Festival Ever was the best!
