Schunkel-what?
Schunkelfest! So...what exactly does that mean? It comes from the word, "Schunkeln" which is easier to say than:
Die Bezeichnung eines Tanzes des Publikums zur Volksmusik oder anderen gesellschaftlichen Festen, wie zum Beispiel dem Karneval. Dabei wird sich mit den Armen zumeist im Sitzen untergehakt und der Oberkörper im Takt bewegt.
uh...yeah. Those Germans have a word for everything. For those of you who don't understand a lick of German, basically you lock your elbows with your neighbor and sway to the music in the spirit of fun and camaraderie.
So meet us in downtown Rapid City on June 29 & 30 at the Festival of Presidents and Schunkel with the Presidents!
(Not really. They're statues.)

The Schunkelfest sounds like great fun! I'm a big fan of Steve Rock's Tanzkapella and Schell Beer. I think I'll be there!!!
