Your Bavarian Getaway

April 2008

The spring weather is right around the corner with wildflowers itching to break loose. By late April the apple and pear trees are a sight to behold with their beautiful blossoms. We have a full month of festivities with choral festivals, spring skiing, music festivals, and Ale Fest.

One Day Showing March 27 4-PM

Come watch fresh new talent. The up and coming 19 year old local artist David Alvarez created a 10' mosaic of Ray Charles using post it notes. Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in London was so impressed they purchased the piece. He's at it again. Using Bicycle Rider Back playing cards, red and blue, and a 25 foot wall of our local Festhalle, David will transform this immense wall and thousands of tiny playing cards into a mosaic portrait of the late, great, Jimi Hendrix.
