Amy and I would like to welcome everyone to come and join us for the Best Wurstfest rally in New Braunfels, TX. Information will be updated as it becomes available.

What is Wurstfest?
Never been to Wurstfest eh? Here's a snippet.

Wurstfest is "A unique celebration rich in German culture and full of Texas fun located in beautiful New Braunfels, Texas! Enjoy good fun, food, special events and the finest in Alpine and Bavarian Style Entertainment."

If you enjoy sausage, beer, and entertainment (and who doesn't), then this is a can't miss event. There are even carnival rides for the kids!

There is a group rate for those interested in attending the festival which should be less than $6.00 per ticket.

Where are we staying?
We will be staying at the Rio Raft and Resort. We already have the rally information booked with the campground. Most sites are full hookup with cable. The park also has WiFi.

Reservation Details:
The park currently has 25 open sites of which 15 are full hookups. To receive the "Rally" rate, we need to have 12 trailers. This rate will be $14.50 per night for two people, and $4.00 a night for each additional person. With under 12 attendees, the rate will be $23.00 for two people, with the $4.00 per additional person. You can reach the campground at
877-RIO-RAFT or 830-964-3613.

Schedule of Events:

Friday: Arrival. Hot dog roast provided by Steve and Amy. Bring a side dish if you like.

Thanks, We will take a serious look, but I think it conflicts with the opening date of deer season where I hunt in Louisiana.

I know you'll have a good time! When we lived in Texas we attended the Wurstfest and it was a blast but that was pre-Airstream.

If we were closer to you geographically we would definitely be there. You and your wife really know how to put together a rally. We hope to see you again sometime.

Lucius,

It's been awhile guy! 3 years since C2C. What a blast. Hope all is well with you both right now.

I think you should look for a Habitat build this way and come on back to Texas!!! I do hope to meet you someday.

Mmmmm.... beer and sausages!

This seems interesting. What kind of numbers are we looking at so far? (# of trailers committed.) I need to ask the doctor what his schedule is like... he's sacked out already and I don't remember offhand which rotation he'll be on in November.

Foiled Again · 10-02-2012, 04:06 AM

Woe is me, stuck in Virginia - would almost come that far for some good wurst!

Hey David,

We have three so far with a 4th waiting to see if schedule changes may happen.

Fresh Wurst is the Best Wurst!

We won't be able to make it. We have our unit rally a couple of weeks after that and kennel fees can add up.

Westfalia · 10-02-2012, 08:08 AM

Steve, unfortunately we won't be able to rally this weekend, but will will see if we can stop by. We will certainly see you at Wuestfest on Saturday! Get ready to get your Polka on.

We're new members from Midland. We are really interested in attending, just need some minor scheduling adjustments. This could be a great test trip for us, and we love the area. We'll be watching for more info, should have our schedule firmed up by Friday. Thanks, Stan & Nancy

Welcome Stan and Nancy,

We are looking at a small group for this rally, but the festival and good times will be great. Hope your schedule firms up as a GO!

We just got back to San Antonio after almost 4 years in Germany. A month from now, we might just be really missing this sort of great Fest experience!

We'll look at the schedule... this sure would be a great first rally to finally meet some fellow Texas Airstreamers.

Stan,

We got rained out of Johnson City rally but love me some Wurstfest. Hope we can make it.

GregU · 10-02-2012, 08:41 PM

Dottie and I are planning on attending. We are looking forward to meeting new Airstream Friends. Thanks for the invitation,
Greg

Hope to see you both there.

Yep. My wife and I are both retired Air Force, but we just came back from being Army civilians (civil service) from this second tour in Germany.

Sounds like a great bunch of veterans to swap stories and enjoy the fest together!
