Thank you to everyone who threw a few bucks in the old nun bucket. $1000 raised!

We all know that the Little Sisters are a part of the Dainty tradition, here's a little bit of history on why they were so important to George and why the tradition continues today.

Deo gratias

The 2026 Schweepstakes Live Prize Drawing! 🎟️

You bought your tickets.
You entered the raffle.
Now it's time to see what kind of prize you'll take home!

In the weeks before Dainty, we collected prizes from all of your favorite neighborhood businesses from Schnitzelburg and beyond. On the Friday after Dainty, we give them away to YOU!

Maybe it'll be from one of your favorite places... maybe it'll introduce you to somewhere entirely new.

Come hang out with us for a post-game drink, catch the Schweepstakes live drawing, grab one last piece of Dainty merch, and enjoy a few cameos from some of your favorite local businesses and community partners.

❤️ Thank you all so much. This community wouldn't be what it is without you. Long live the Schnitz, Long live the Dainty.

We'll see you Friday at The MerryWeather!

Thank you all for making the 56th Annual World Championship Dainty one for the books! We had such an incredible evening celebrating Schnitzelburg and the legacy of George Hauck with you.

Please join us in congratulating our 2026 Champ, Mike Brooks, who offered up an impressive hit of 130 feet and 10 inches, taking home the prize!

In Dainty fashion, please also join us in celebration of Cory Travelstead's truly lackluster hit of 2 feet 8 inches, and congratulate him on his new basket of lemons!

Cheers to all of you, and long live the Dainty.
