Fasching
is one of the few times each year the normally staid Germans let loose
and have some fun. Traditionally, it is a time to act out, caricature
government officials and just blow off some steam without fear of
reprisals - all in good fun. The Fasching season begins at the 11th
hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. This gives the Fasching Guilds
in Germany plenty of time to create elaborate masks and costumes for
the big celebration on the last night of the season before the fasting
of Lent begins.
In
Alpine Village of Helen, we too celebrate the last night of Fasching
with a feast, music and merriment. So gather your friends and pick a
theme. Bring your costumes and table decorations and help us celebrate
Mardi Gras - German style. Contest for best costume in the Male, Female
and couple category.
Entertainment:
To be announced.
