Jedermann wünschen zur Polka?

As long as I have lived in Jackson, I don't believe I've found a quaint place to call a great "find".  There are, however, many great events to attend throughout the year.  Some that I have enjoyed include the state fair, the rodeo, and the Greek festival.  Others that I hear are incredible are the St. Patrick's Day parade, the Irish festival, and the rodeo.  I decided to write about another one, which I attended sometime last semester.  The great German festival of Gluckstadt. 
This was a great event filled with all that you would expect.  Plenty of brats, beer, and fun.  They had many classic German vehicles to inspect and enjoy.  Including a few bugs, an old VW double decker van, and some motorcycles.  What would a German Festival be without an Oom Pah band?  There was a fun little band there to perform all of your my favorite polka and traditional German folk music(gotta love it). There was also plenty of opportunities to get out and do the duck dance.  Sounds too thrilling doesn't it.
The food was probably my favorite part of the entire thing.  The brats were unique and absolutely delicious.  There were shish kabobs, hot pretzels, and more homemade sauerkraut than you could fit into an olympic size pool.  Not to mention, they also had some great German beers for people to enjoy. 
All in all it was a great time for someone of any age.  The dancing, authentic music, and great food all made this worth my time.  It wasn't as big as I would have hoped, but I could definitely have fun there for about an hour or so.  For those of you in Jackson, I would recommend checking out the Irish and Greek festivals when they arrive.  They are held in that area right next to Smith-Wills Stadium and last a couple of days.  They were probably a little more enjoyable because of a larger crowd and a bigger variety of activities.
