OKTOBERFEST IS BACK!

We always have a good time. Lots of eating and drinking and goofing off! Sundays are FAMILY days with a few kiddie rides and petting zoo, so this is not an adult-only event. There is however, plenty of beer drinking going on....If you want, you can BRING YOUR OWN STEIN to drink out of or buy one there to get in the spirit. Fresh German bread and pastries will also be for sale as well as other vendor booths with unusual items.

Hello Sacramento Dutchies!

We zijn inmiddels in het tweede jaar van onze tweemaandelijkse borrelavonden en steeds meer lokale Nederlanders, Belgen en hun significant others weten de weg naar de Snug te vinden. Eten, drinken, gezelligheid tot in de kleine uurtjes.. Voor elk wat wils! Proost en hopelijk tot de 21ste.

I know, we don't celibrate Thanksgiving in The Netherlands, but we live in the US so why not celibrate it ???(in our way) Let's pick out a place to go and take our own food with us and share it!

In this slide-accompanied lecture, food historian Peter G. Rose delves into the early history of the life of Saint Nicholas; explains the various changes in his veneration; and relates how he was brought to America by the Dutch in the 17th century, and again, transformed into Santa in the 19th century. The talk encompasses such subjects as literature, religion, the fine arts, and Dutch food ways to describe the extraordinary story of Saint Nicholas' generosity, which has had a lasting impact on American culture.
