#2 The only problem right now is bad weather.
The Trachtenumzug (don't ask me how to translate that) just went along fine. Btw you learn a lot about patriotism and tolerance when you join a Trachtenverein or Schützenverein.

#3 A query of the internet gives

Trachtenumzug = procession in traditional costumes

and the photographic example of exactly that somewhere in Hispanic America.

#5 #4 --Uh, Ship, that's "Krewe". But good idea. And EC, don't ask me to explain what a Krewe is, but alcohol is involved.

#6 Schutzenverein? Here in heavily German-descent Cincinnati there's a Schutzenfest that includes lots of firearms and beer.

#7 I didn't know about the Schutzenfest, Rob, but I do now. Link. Our Oktoberfest -- this weekend, in fact -- has moved up to #1 in the U.S., and when the Hofbrauhaus expanded abroad, they came here first, though they went for what I assume is cheaper real estate in northern Kentucky.
