GermanFest Board Spotlight - Muenster Main Street Merchants

Shopping locally in small towns is crucial because it directly contributes to the town's economic health by keeping money circulating within the community, supporting local jobs, fostering a sense of community, and preserving the unique character of the town by sustaining diverse small businesses that larger chains often cannot replicate; essentially, every dollar spent locally helps this town thrive and maintain its identity. This is why The Main Street Merchants was created. The downtown shops began this group in 2018 to help promote all downtown Muenster businesses.

Over the years the merchants have put on several events on Main Street such as - Galantines Sip & Shop, Open houses, Cinco de Mayo, Market Days, Ci**rs & Cars, Mimosas on Main, Car shows, Wine Stroll Down Main, and Christkindle Market.

They are looking forward to some new events soon - Bed Races Down Main and several new Shop & Sip events. The downtown merchants truly appreciate all the local folks for shopping locally and supporting all the small-town shops.

GermanFest Board Spotlight The Knights of Columbus (KC’s) is a Catholic fraternal organization founded in 1882 by a parish priest named Father Michael McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut. Father McGivney’s goal was to create unity amongst Catholic men and to provide aid and care to the widows and orphans of deceased members. The KC’s have since grown into one of the world’s largest charitable organizations, with over 2 million members and 16,000 councils. The primary mission of the Knights of Columbus is to empower Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work, and in their community.

Locally, the Knights of Columbus is represented by Council 1459, which was chartered in 1910. Besides Sacred Heart Church, it is the oldest non-profit entity in Muenster. Over the last 115 years, Council 1459 has devoted its charitable focus on the faithful service of Sacred Heart parish and the community of Muenster. Some of the Council’s programs and events include Lenten fish fry’s, free throw contest, the GermanFest Fun Run, annual golf tournament, summer & fall raffles, Corpus Christi Eucharistic procession, GermanFest/Oktoberfest margarita booth, Good Neighbor Award, and the High School Football Feed. Money raised from these events is given back to the community; to help serve our Church, our parish, and its ministries, to support the right to Life, and to serve those in need. To be a Knight means a life of faith in action.

We are officially only 9 weeks away from the 49th Annual GermanFest! The committee has been hard at work and we have some exciting announcements headed your way! To start Inside of Fuhrman Hall is going to look better than it ever has before, there are many exciting new changes to this beautiful facility that we will be releasing more information on in the coming days.

But for now, we will continue to focus on the outside festivities. We currently have only 2 outdoor Vendor spaces available, so you will have plenty of food and shopping options as you walk the grounds. If you notice in the Southeast corner of the Festival map, you will see the BBQ area. We have been working very hard with The Brothers of Service and Outlaw BBQ to make this event a high-level sanctioned event with bigger prize money than ever before. Sign up information and details for this will also be released in the coming days!

Just across from the BBQ location will the traditional Kiwanis Club Of Muenster Texas Carnival Rides. The Muenster Kiwanis is part of the new GermanFest board and we plan to let you know more about their good work in our next Board Organization Spotlight post that is coming next week!

Pre-Sale entry tickets will be available for purchase in early March, so be sure to follow our social pages for more information on how to buy them at our Early Bird rates!

Board spotlight post The Sacred Heart Alumni & Supporters organization includes the entire Sacred Heart Catholic School family: alumni, parents, teachers, parents of former students, and all supporters of the school. It is through this organization that we work hard to save and raise money to reduce the cost of tuition for EVERY child who attends Sacred Heart Catholic School. The Alumni & Supporters also assist with many other expenses such as busses, campus improvements, technology, athletic expenses, and so much more.

Like the quote from Helen Keller that we often reference, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”, we find that the teamwork among the local volunteer organizations has brought us all together with mutual respect and greater success for the common goal of supporting and improving our community.
