GACC vice president Fred Beisser discovered Bobs during a visit to the 2011 Elizabash and was so impressed with Bobs Gourmet Nuts With Altitude!" that he recommended them to the management of the 2011 Denver Christkindl Market (http://www.DenverChristkindlMarket.com) where some 60,000 visitors enjoyed his gourmet nuts. Bobs gluten-free nuts are cooked in water, not in oil, not in butter, and with all-natural flavors. They roast their delicious almonds, pecans and sunflower seeds to perfection in a copper kettle imported from Germany where their great Bavarian nut roasting recipe also originated.

This is a great cultural event for kids and adults, said Joshua Seeberg, manager of the event. We have created an event that has something for everyone. According to the 2000 census, 22 percent of Coloradoans claimed German descent and we are pleased to provide them with a bit of their heritage. According to Seeberg, last years event drew some 1,100 visitors. He advises those coming to the event to watch for the Bavarian blue and white checked banner just north of The Fort Restaurant on the east side of Highway 8 at the parking area.

Children attending the festival will enjoy the chance to try some German games such as Eierlaufen (egg races), Sacklaufen (sack race), Ringhuepfen (ring hopping race) and Torwandschiessen (soccer goal kicking accuracy). The Colorado Rapids street team along with their mascot will also appear for Fussball (soccer) fans.

The outstanding TEV Edelweiss Schuhplattler dancers consistently win national awards in dancing competition across the USA. Two of its members, Michael and Maria Rase, earned a gold medal in North America finals and competed in the Bayerischer-Loewe competition at Neufahrn, Germany in July 2010 where they placed in the top ten Einzelplatterlern finals.
