GERMAN MAIFEST!

      This past week while having lunch at the Ronneburg Restaurant in Amana, I actually didn't realize why the main street there was decorated so beautifully and tastefully in soft red and yellow bows and piping all along the way.

     All you heard about at this time was about Cinco de Mayo. I knew that the Amana's would not necessarily recognize that celebration. Maybe I am too many generations removed to have ever remembered this event. You would think since German immigration here was or has been the largest group of any nationality, there would be more recognition. Some where, I am sure it is a big deal. They make up for it in the fall!
