Alphorngruppe Alpine Echoes will be strolling the DAS Fest grounds all weekend.
In Switzerland and the German Alpines, the sweetest grass for cows is high in the Alpine Meadows. 200+ years ago, the Alphorn provided a way for shepherds to communicate with their family in the Valley below, and believe it or not, the sound would soothe the cows. Mozart even wrote a symphony incorporating the Alphorn.
OPA'S BINGO HALLE

Germany introduced Bingo in the 1880's as an educational tool to help students study math. It's the same Bingo you know and love, but you'll have to shout "Volltreffer" like they do in Germany if you have the winning card.
