The LFGHF (full name above) is the sponsor of the DEUTSCH COUNTRY DAYS German-French and Osage Tribe Missouri history, dating from the 1700's thru 1890. There are over seventy life skills of the above-referenced above demonstrated, such as Hide Tanning, Period Animal Barn complete with 'live' farm animals, Home-cooked Springerle Cookies from dough to molds, Apple Butter from core to the jar, Scherenschnitte (new in 2013 by a nationally-known Pennsylvania artisan) various Basket weavers, Dyeing-Spinning-Weaving-Felting of newly-shorn-Missouri wool, Blade and Blacksmith, Butter Churning, Sad Ironing and much, much more! And, of course, there are six locations scattered throughout the exhibit areas for home-cooked sandwiches and meals and snacks, all furnished by non-profit groups. The children, along with many adults do not realize they are learning their heritage by watching and hands-on participation on many of the demonstrated folkways. Admission is tax-deductible as the Foundation is a 501C3 non-profit public foundation for over fifteen years.
It is an honor to be associated with this organization and historic event, where history is alive on the third weekend in October. Twenty-thirteen is the 32nd exhibit year. Deutsch Country Days is the finest-most authentic living history in Missouri so states the Tourism Bureau. So as we say, "Kommet, Freuet Euch mit Uns," Come, enjoy yourself with us - here you are most welcome!
