After Mother Nature forced us to postpone our annual Independence Day Picnic in July, we're excited to announce that the celebration is back—and even bigger!
Join us on Sunday, August 30th, as we combine our Annual Independence Day Picnic with Family Fun Day for one unforgettable afternoon celebrating America's 250th Birthday. Enjoy great food, live music, family activities, and the traditions that make the E.O.U.V. so special.
The day begins with the Gottscheer Blaskapelle at Noon, followed by the traditional keg tapping at 12:30 PM. Throughout the afternoon, enjoy performances by our Kinder Tanz Gruppe, Adult Tanz Gruppe, and the Gottscheer Heimatchor.
There will be fun for all ages! Kids can enjoy Family Fun Day activities and games, while everyone can relax with delicious food, great music, and time spent with family and friends.
Beginning at 12:45 PM, we'll serve our famous Schnitzel Dinner with all the trimmings for $15. Later in the afternoon, the grill will be fired up with hamburgers and hot dogs. Slovenian sausage sandwiches will also be available.
Be sure to save room for our homemade apple strudel as well as other pastries and baked goods at our always-popular bakery table.
The celebration continues with Jeff Pecon's Orchestra and some other very talented musicians, the stein holding contest, and plenty of additional surprises throughout the day.
Although our July celebration was postponed, we're grateful for the opportunity to bring everyone together for one spectacular end-of-summer event. We hope you'll join us on Sunday, August 30th, as we celebrate America's 250th Birthday, enjoy Family Fun Day, and make lasting memories with our E.O.U.V. family.
Mark your calendars—we can't wait to celebrate with you!
