We sang at Wauktoberfest on the Endres Manufacturing grounds in Waunakee on Sunday September 20th. As we’ve been doing for the last few years, we sing our first set, then pause for the Dachshund races, and then sing a second set. It was a beautiful day and I think we all had a good time. Strangely though, the Wauktoberfest goat mascot (a.k.a. “Greg’s Nemesis”) was not present.
Here are some photos; as always click on the small image to see the full picture.

The acoustics in the tent are not optimal, but we gave it our best shot

At 3:00 we took a break for the Dachshund Races. This is the start of the first heat, which included the eventual winner Abraham.

Our friend Squeaky was late in registering, but managed to get into the fourth heat.

But Squeaky didn't give up and momentarily took the lead though Mercury won. Better luck next year Squeaky!

Just barely had enough time to get a slice of "Warrior" pizza (bratwurst, sauerkraut and onions) before our second set

By the end of the second set the crowd had thinned out but there were still brats and beer to be consumed. We'll see you next year at Wauktoberfest!
