One of the exotic things about Germany is the number of festivities that include folk costumes and two or three piece bands playing traditional dance music. I present for your consideration a photo of just such an exotic local festival held each year to honor the christening of the village church. From earlier this evening in a village less than a mile away, the Schlicht Kirwa. Bring on the beer and bratwurst!
