Anyone who wants to participate will bring 24 adult beverages (like an advent calendar).
Let's say 12 people participate, I walk away with adult beverages from those 12 people and they get some of mine.
Like a cookie exchange, only with adult beverages. We will be putting more out there on that as it gets closer.

Normal practices will start up on Friday, July 31. Like normal, we will have kids practice at 7:30pm and adult practice starts at 8:30pm. However, we are going to try something different for the adults this year. We will only be having Glockenspiel practice every other week, so if you are interested in learning skits or participating in skits at German Central or Tulsa you need to try and be at these practices. The weeks that we do not have practice we will be incorporating learning more Volkstanze (dances that have minimal to no turning or plattlering in them) for the first 30ish minutes of practice. We are hoping that that more of our members who want to dance but can’t turn or plattler can become more involved! Below are the dates for what weeks will have Glock practice or Volkstanze. We will still be doing our normal practice of plattlers for our events but we are just incorporating another element to it.
Glock Practices:
Aug. 7
Aug. 21 (location TBD)
Sept. 4 (TBD due to Labor Day Weekend)
Sept. 9 or 10 (at German Central)
Sept. 18
Oct. 2
Oct. 16
Volkstanze:
July 31
Aug. 14
Aug. 28
Sept. 25
Oct. 9

Liebe Mitglieder,
Let’s keep the post-Bierfest vibes going! This Friday we’re trying something new: a laid-back evening to unwind, laugh, and just enjoy each other’s company with a game night!
🕖 We’ll kick things off in the practice room at 7pm, but come whenever you like—no pressure, just fun.
🍽️ Eat dinner beforehand—we’ll have snacks (maybe some fries!), but no full meal. Prost! Restaurant and the bar will be open, so grab a drink and settle in.
Caleb and April will be teaching schafkopf for anyone who wants to learn
🃏 We’ll have games on the tables for all ages—Schafkopf, cards, and more. Whether you’re playing or just chatting, it’s all about good times together.
📱 Questions? Call or text Irene at 330-321-5572.
Can’t wait to see you there!
