I have had inquiries as to the winner of the raffle. A young man named Jacob Allman of Starke City was the winner. This 14 year old purchased his ticket at the Walmart Store. His picture should be in the Monett Time.

In 1974, the Ernte-Fest was a vision of the charter members of the Freistatt Lions Club. The club was chartered in June, and by August the first Ernte-Fest had become a reality. Held in the middle of the quiet little German town of Freistatt, MO, it was small back then but the theme which is referre…

We have retained the services of Nixa Party Station to provide for rides and children entertainment for this year's festival. You can see some of the rides that will be available during the festival by visiting their website www.nixapartystation.com.

Update. The Committe has selected bands for this year's ErnteFest. We again will have the Alpine Express Band with Terry Cavanagh on the main stage. There is a couple of changes this year. Instead of the trio that played last year Terry is bringing a four piece band adding a trumpet player and playing from 7:30-11:30 both Friday and Saturday night.
For you that where able to attend last year you will remember how entertaining this group was and how they engaged the audience. It was truly a lot of fun.
On the second stage we will be having two local groups. On Friday The Playboyz with Travis Scott will be playing and Saturday night we will again have the Mark Chapman Band. I think you will find both of these bands entertaining.
For more information on the Alpine Express visit their website at http://www.terrycavanagh.com. Mark Chapman Band also has a website at http://www.markchapmanband.com. I currently do not have website for the Playboyz but I understand that they do have a page and I will attempt to locate that and provide you information.
As always it should be a fun time. So mark your calendar.
We should also be having some information shortly regarding children entertainment planned for the ErnteFest

Terry Cavanagh is based in New Braunfels, Texas, home of Wurstfest, igniting audiences for over a decade with the polka band the Alpine Express. He also performs professionally for wedding receptions, euro themed music, and more.

I want to give everyone a heads up. The Club has opted to move the date for the ErnteFest to the 2nd weekend in August in lieu of the 3rd weekend. That means that the 2015 ErnteFest will be held on the 7th and 8th.
This decision was prompted by a growing list of conflicts with our current date and it was the Club opinion that in moving the date for the festival that we would minimize some of these issues.
Hopefully you will share this information with your friends and others who attend this event.
As always we very much appreciate your support of this fund raiser for the Freistatt Lions Club
We would also encourage you to go our website for updates and information on the 2015 festival.
