It's the final two days of Sommerfest!

Today and Saturday are your last two chances to come to the 2010 Sommerfest!
We still have a few commemorative steins available, so be sure to pick yours up before someone else does.

Rick Borger and the Average German Band will hit the stage at 7pm, cover charge is $5.

On a sadder note, we regretfully inform the public that we have sold completely out of the Schell Light and the Oktoberfest beers.  We knew they'd be a hit, but we had no idea just how popular they'd be with everyone. Lessons have been learned, and we promise to make sure enough is ordered next year to satisfy our thirsy crowds! Rest assured, we have plenty of the Schell's Original Deer brand and the Dark varieties, as well as MGD.

Fun fact: During the week of Sommerfest, the German Tent sells more kegs of Schell beer than anyone else in the entire country. In fact, they released the Oktoberfest early for us! If you liked it, be on the lookout for it in bottles at your favorite liquor store.

A very special thank you

The Rushmore German Club would like to thank Ken the chainsaw artist for lending us his generator on Friday night when power to a large section of Rapid City went out. If you go to the German Tent, please take a few minutes to visit his tent, immediately to the east of us. It turns out that Ken and his crew are world champion chainsaw carvers, and they recently competed in Germany where they won 2nd place in an international chainsaw carving competition.  Congratulations, and thank you for your generosity! The German Tent's taps did not stop thanks to you!  DANKE SCHÖN!

$5 cover charge begins at 6pm.
Steve Rock Tanzkappelle starts playing at the tent at 7pm.
