Jacob
Hunsinger,
President of the
Mansfield Liederkranz, was happy to hear that the
DVHH will be a part of this year's Treffen; of which the
DVHH booth will be in the same location as in 2007.
He said we were a great hit
with the Liederkranz members and visitors. Herr Hunsinger said this year is a
competition year and they expect a much larger crowd than the last time.
Tanzwettbewerb
means that there is a competition between all
the groups. Every city is allowed 15 minutes
of song, dance, speaking in German, poems, their
trachts, etc. Whoever has the most points will
win what is called the “Awender Cultural Prize”
which is first place. |
