Ziachfest  – First Time Ever Offered  --  CANCELLED

Unfortunately, the Ziachfest has been cancelled because the Smiell Family is unable to attend due to an unforeseen work commitment.  Daily, progressive instruction for beginning, intermediate, and advanced players. Sessions will be conducted by the Smiell Family, a couple of hours each day over the 24.Gaufest weekend in Sandusky, at times which do not conflict with key Fest activities.  

A group of 50 Bavarians will be coming from Bayern to North America and will be attending the 24. Gaufest. Erech Morrison, Ehrenvorstand of GTEV Maple Leaf-Almrausch Ottawa and his Verein have been friends with members of the Heimat und Volkstrachtenverein Salzweg. Salzweg is near Passau in Niederbayern. The groups have paid each other visits several times over their twenty-year friendship. This year they will be accompanied by the Gau-Gruppe of the Oberer Lechgauverband.
