Senior Connections in Schulenburg had a little excitement with the facility maintenance plan recently. It was time to get the floors waxed and cared for.

“Everyone is cordially invited to attend, especially good marksmen,” read Louis Kreische’s 1884 advertisement for the sixth annual celebration of the Bluff Schuetzenverein. Indeed, all of La Grange and Fayette County—if not the whole of Texas—was invited to the Bluff for gatherings of the local German-Texan marksmanship and social club. More than a century later, all are once again invited to gather at Kreische Brewery & Monument Hill State Historic Sites for the second annual Bluff SchuetzenFest on Saturday, May 20, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
