To start Sundays show we have a song from Heino, seen here with my dad apparently in 1994.

The German Heritage Festival was one of many cultural festivals held at the Garden State Arts Center. They were nonprofit and supported programs for senior citizens. Many other ethnicities had events but my dad was proud that the German Festival was one of the largest and well attended.
The Governors of New Jersey supported the arts and programs and always issued a proclamation that it was German Heritage day for that day in New Jersey. Here I have a few examples.

My father MC’d, helped find or plan talent at many different festivals over the years.
Here he is with Steve Huber’s Happy Austrians and Conny Dellner’s Egerland Kapelle at Action Park in Vernon, NJ.
The second picture is of Steve and Conny.
They had a great atmosphere and brewed their own beer. I believe we have some glasses or mugs still. I went on a bus trip my parents organized and it was a great time.

The GTV Almrausch has their Oktoberfest coming up on Nov 1. I have been a fan since I was a toddler, as evidenced by this t-shirt.

Last week I shared a picture of my mother with Heino. She now found the partner picture of my dad with him in Canada in 1991.

This is from a 1991 concert that Heino had in Canada. My parents went up to see him and visit.

On this Sundays program, my mother found a fun one, though with AI maybe in a few years a computer can?

Many years ago Manfred Schneider from Clark Travel Agency, Inc. ran a trip/tour of German cities including a trip to Phantasialand in Brühl.
This is my parents home town and many relatives went as well.
Heino and Hannelore were kind enough to come out and meet the group as well.

The Vereinigung Erzgebirge had their Oktoberfest/Sportfest today. My father had events here over the years and we had a 35th radio anniversary in the clubhouse.
He is pictured here with Klaus Bernhardt and Karl-Heinz Kiefer. Mr Kiefer filled in with me doing the radio a few times when when my father was in Germany. He also hosted Karnival for many years.
I’m adding a picture with Mr and Mrs Bernhardt and one with Inge K Tillmann, longtime friend of the family and another with Peter and Eleanor Hansen.
Great to see so many long time friends.
