Deutchenfest

We've been looking forward to this event ever since we moved to Pflugerville. Our town has very strong German roots and was named in honor of Henry Pluger who arrived in the 1840s leaving his German homeland to escape the Prussian War. As you may know, my father's side of the family is from Germany as well so we love any excuse to celebrate our heritage and Pflugerville is just the place with their well known Deutchenfest! We were hoping my parents would be here to celebrate with us but unfortunately a medical emergency got in the way :( However, I'm glad to report that Mama Geiger is doing well and we drank a few German beers in her honor ;) The town goes all out for this event! They have a 5k Pfun Run, parade, live music, carnival, shopping, festival t-shirts, beer tents, vendors and all the Pfun that Pfluger Park can handle! We had a blast and Alli enjoyed every minute or every activity!
