‘Traubenfest date set for October’

     

This just in: The Freemasons of the Ninth Manhattan District will host their annual Traubenfest on Sunday, October 2 at German Masonic Park in Tappan, New York. Gates will open at 11 a.m. Admission is only five bucks (but free for children under 14), and the event will open “rain or shine.”

It’s a fun day of enjoying German food, German beer, German band music, and all things German, and it is hosted by the German heritage lodges of the Grand Lodge of New York.

They now have a website. Click here for directions and other information.

By happy coincidence, Grand Master’s Day at DeWint House, only about a mile away in Tappan, also will take place that day, so do what I do and make a full day of it in that beautiful little town.
