Speaker 1: Continuing a theme here on the 55KRC Morning Show this
0:05
Speaker 1: gorgeous Friday. It is that time of year. It's Oktoberfest season,
0:09
Speaker 1: generally speaking, but we've got a great one going on
0:11
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's the Don and Schwabin Oktoberfest 2026. And
0:15
Speaker 1: the Don and Schwabin folks are in the studio to
0:17
Speaker 1: talk about this. And thank God, Herr Toltzman mentioned the sausages.
0:20
Speaker 1: You're going to be able to enjoy the Don and
0:21
Speaker 1: Schwabin event. And I said, if you guys haven't brought
0:23
Speaker 1: any sausages, turn around, go back and get some. Lo
0:26
Speaker 1: and behold, as has been tradition for multiple years in
0:29
Speaker 1: a row, a huge tray of these wonderful sausages. Welcome.
0:33
Speaker 1: It is always a pleasure to enjoy some early community
0:36
Speaker 1: kite before we get to the Donna Schwab and Oktoberfest.
0:38
Speaker 1: Good to have you in studio. And thanks again for
0:39
Speaker 1: bringing the wonderful food and beverages, which we're not allowed
0:42
Speaker 1: to eat or drink in the studio, right? You guys
0:44
Speaker 1: know the rules. Absolutely. Give me that bottle, would you?
0:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
0:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, the longer I work here
0:50
Speaker 1: and the closer I get to retirement, the less I care.
0:53
Speaker 3: Anyhow.
0:54
Speaker 2: So.
0:55
Speaker 1: We're going to do the whys, the whens, and the wheres.
0:57
Speaker 1: And let us start by beginning that I always regularly
1:01
Speaker 1: acknowledge that I don't think I have any German in me.
1:06
Speaker 1: That's okay. You're still invited. Not presently right now, of course.
1:08
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
1:09
Speaker 1: No phrasing button from Strecker. But genetically speaking, my mom
1:13
Speaker 1: did one of the genetic tests, and she didn't have
1:14
Speaker 1: any German there. That makes perfect sense considering her heritage
1:17
Speaker 1: goes all the way back. She's the daughter of the
1:19
Speaker 1: American Revolution in England. but never had dads tested. I
1:23
Speaker 1: always suspected I had some Germany in me, but the
1:26
Speaker 1: important point is you guys aren't, you know, complaining about
1:29
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation when you have an oktoberfest.
1:32
Speaker 3: Everybody is welcome.
1:36
Speaker 2: This weekend everyone is german.
1:39
Speaker 4: You're like an irish put your cultural appropriation.
1:45
Speaker 3: Crap down that's right people say something like that oh
1:49
Speaker 3: gosh but.
1:50
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity for fun and games um and
1:52
Speaker 1: i guess did you Anybody know the story of the
1:54
Speaker 1: original Oktoberfest? Or this just goes back to the fall
1:58
Speaker 1: tradition in Germany? Is it a harvest celebration?
2:02
Speaker 3: I would assume probably something like that. But to tell
2:06
Speaker 3: you the truth, I don't know.
2:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really know.
2:09
Speaker 3: It's been going on forever.
2:11
Speaker 1: So long.
2:12
Speaker 2: For so long.
2:12
Speaker 1: And you have multiple German groups in and around greater Cincinnati. Correct, yes.
2:16
Speaker 1: Of course, Herr Toltzman talked about our history. We're steeped
2:18
Speaker 1: in it. But everybody supports everybody else's festival. Absolutely.
2:22
Speaker 2: I mean, like our club, the Dona Schwaben, we have
2:25
Speaker 2: dance groups and we perform at the other clubs. Like
2:27
Speaker 2: Colby and Germania, we perform at their Oktoberfest, their festivals.
2:30
Speaker 2: They come to ours. It's definitely like we all support
2:33
Speaker 2: each other.
2:33
Speaker 1: It's a nice thing to see and hold. And do
2:36
Speaker 1: you have a parade with everybody's banners?
2:39
Speaker 2: Yes. So that's actually on Saturday. So everything kicks off tonight.
2:43
Speaker 2: The festivities start around 5.30 p.m. tonight. And then Saturday,
2:48
Speaker 2: it's from 1 p.m. to 11, and the parade's around 4.
2:52
Speaker 2: So the parade, everyone will march around. We have people
2:55
Speaker 2: from other clubs, and they're carrying their flags. And that's
2:58
Speaker 2: when our Grand Marshal, Jennifer Ketchmark, she's going to tap
3:01
Speaker 2: the official keg and start us off.
3:03
Speaker 1: I was honored to be a Grand Marshal. It's fun.
3:05
Speaker 2: It's fun, yeah.
3:06
Speaker 1: You've got to hit the tap just right.
3:09
Speaker 2: And you can't be scared. I did it last year
3:13
Speaker 2: at the Hofbrauhaus. Not at the parade, but I did
3:15
Speaker 2: it at the Hofbrauhaus, and it was pretty scary. I
3:18
Speaker 2: was like, oh, God, I'm afraid I'm going to, like,
3:20
Speaker 2: mess it up. But it's fun.
3:21
Speaker 1: Performance anxiety. Yes, a little bit.
3:23
Speaker 2: A little bit.
3:24
Speaker 1: Now, do you have the beer races and the games
3:26
Speaker 1: and the Stein races and things like that going on
3:29
Speaker 1: this weekend?
3:29
Speaker 2: We have a whole, like, tent that has, like, games
3:32
Speaker 2: of all kinds, and we have. And then you can,
3:35
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what games are being. There is
3:37
Speaker 2: a Stein. Like holding.
3:39
Speaker 1: That's the one.
3:40
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
3:41
Speaker 3: You have to hold it out.
3:43
Speaker 2: Yes.
3:43
Speaker 3: And the log sawing contest goes on on Saturday evening.
3:47
Speaker 3: And men and women are invited to come.
3:49
Speaker 2: So it's not just for the guys.
3:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
3:51
Speaker 1: Saw with the handle on both sides.
3:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:54
Speaker 2: Yeah. We also do that in one of our dances.
3:57
Speaker 2: So yeah, the shoe thoughtless. Well, it's, it's, it's a
4:00
Speaker 2: pretty fun dance and the girls get to saw and
4:03
Speaker 2: then the boys are Hitting the axe on the wood.
4:06
Speaker 2: So it's pretty crazy. It's fun.
4:07
Speaker 1: It's fun.
4:08
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:08
Speaker 1: You know, Trekker's kids, when they were a lot younger,
4:10
Speaker 1: were in the little kids' Donald Schwab and dance group.
4:14
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:15
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when you see.
4:16
Speaker 2: Those kids, it's so cute. It's amazing. It's from, they
4:19
Speaker 2: start dancing around four years old. Yeah. And you keep,
4:22
Speaker 2: there's groups up until your hips don't work anymore.
4:25
Speaker 1: Well, I know that.
4:26
Speaker 2: And yet you can dance until... Dance until you can't.
4:28
Speaker 1: I know that. I was mentioning when Tolstoy was on earlier,
4:32
Speaker 1: he talked about the dirndls and the clothing that you
4:34
Speaker 1: can buy at the Donna Schwab and Oktoberfest. I said
4:38
Speaker 1: a lot ago, you know who looks really hot in
4:40
Speaker 1: a dirndl? My wife. And I was thinking about that
4:42
Speaker 1: in the context there was, I don't know if it's
4:45
Speaker 1: the same guy every year, but she always ends up
4:46
Speaker 1: getting captured. I'll use that term. I know it's pejorative,
4:50
Speaker 1: or at least it sounds that way, but Someone ends up,
4:52
Speaker 1: you know, she gets their attention, some elderly German guy
4:56
Speaker 1: who wants to dance with her. So she loves it.
4:58
Speaker 1: She dances with everything like that. It's awesome.
5:00
Speaker 3: You've got to beware. If you've got a dirndl, someone
5:02
Speaker 3: might bring you to dance.
5:03
Speaker 1: Someone's going to dance with you.
5:04
Speaker 2: That's kind of the point. Same with if you've got
5:06
Speaker 2: lederhosen on. Someone's going to grab you and dance. We're
5:08
Speaker 2: going to pull you in.
5:09
Speaker 1: Nobody did that to me. Maybe it's me. Okay.
5:10
Speaker 2: Well, you know what?
5:11
Speaker 1: If I see you out.
5:12
Speaker 2: There, I'll grab you. We're going to pull you on
5:13
Speaker 2: that floor.
5:14
Speaker 1: Maybe I have a body that's not ready for lederhosen.
5:16
Speaker 1: You don't want to go down that road, Thomas.
5:19
Speaker 2: Okay.
5:20
Speaker 1: I was saying, what type of lederhosen are affiliated with
5:24
Speaker 1: the Donner Schwaben? Because I have the short ones above
5:27
Speaker 1: the knee. And one year, because I go to multiple Oktoberfests,
5:31
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them. And I was wearing them,
5:33
Speaker 1: and a guy with the ones that go over the
5:36
Speaker 1: knee said, you got the wrong lederhosen on for this event.
5:40
Speaker 1: I was like, it's a regional thing in Germany.
5:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and truthfully, for the Donner Schwaben people, honestly, Schuhplattlerin
5:47
Speaker 2: and the lederhosen aren't. like our traditional garb. It's Bavarian.
5:51
Speaker 2: It's Bavarian.
5:52
Speaker 1: The black pants and the hat and the vest.
5:54
Speaker 2: That's more of our traditional outfits that we wear. And
5:58
Speaker 2: like the, we have like Trachten, which are sort of
6:00
Speaker 2: like dirndls. They're just more like, I guess traditional is
6:03
Speaker 2: like the right word there. So like the dirndls and
6:06
Speaker 2: stuff is more like leisure, leisure wear. And the lederhosen
6:09
Speaker 2: are more Bavarian. And then the black and whites with
6:12
Speaker 2: like the vest over top, that's more of like our
6:14
Speaker 2: Dona Schwaben traditional. For the men. For the men.
6:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:18
Speaker 1: It's optional, though.
6:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. And here's the thing is, like, if you come
6:21
Speaker 2: in lederhosen, we're not turning you away. We have a
6:23
Speaker 2: Schupatler group that dances with the lederhosen on. And so
6:26
Speaker 2: we've kind of, like, it's like a melting pot of
6:28
Speaker 2: all of different cultures kind of, like, coming together. So
6:30
Speaker 2: that's what's so special about it.
6:31
Speaker 1: Lederhosen of all types are welcome. Absolutely. It's just that
6:34
Speaker 1: they were being, you know, sort of reminding me that,
6:35
Speaker 1: you know, I think it was a half-joking gesture because
6:38
Speaker 1: I wasn't the only.
6:39
Speaker 2: One there that had those kind of lederhosen.
6:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. But it's an opportunity to wear them because how
6:43
Speaker 1: many times throughout the year are you wearing your lederhosen?
6:45
Speaker 2: I mean, Oktoberfest season, pretty much.
6:49
Speaker 1: Maybe they were like Daisy Dukes. Oh, no, they weren't
6:52
Speaker 1: that short. And you would never catch me wearing anything
6:55
Speaker 1: like that from a man's clothing perspective because my wife
7:00
Speaker 1: jokingly refers to my butt as a preemie butt. I
7:02
Speaker 1: have no butt. I have legs that go directly into
7:04
Speaker 1: a torso.
7:05
Speaker 2: That is so funny. I love that.
7:09
Speaker 1: Quite revealing here in the morning.
7:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it has to be.
7:12
Speaker 1: All right, so there's going to be beer. I'm looking
7:14
Speaker 1: at a list of beers. Oh, and folks, if you're
7:15
Speaker 1: on Facebook, you can go to Cincinnati Donau Schwaben Oktoberfest.
7:19
Speaker 1: D-O-N-A-U Schwaben. S-C-H-W-A-B-E-N. Donau Schwaben Oktoberfest. You have multiple beers
7:26
Speaker 1: that are going.
7:26
Speaker 2: To be at this event. Over 35 imported beers. 35.
7:28
Speaker 1: Yes. 35.
7:31
Speaker 2: There's some domestic if you like it a little bit easier,
7:35
Speaker 2: but I tend to go for the different ones, the
7:38
Speaker 2: imported ones.
7:39
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say when in Rome, but
7:41
Speaker 1: when in Germany. Exactly. As the Germans do.
7:45
Speaker 2: Exactly.
7:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have some really good ones here. Some of
7:48
Speaker 1: them I've never heard of before. yeah there's eagle gold
7:52
Speaker 1: brow that's a new one that.
7:53
Speaker 3: Is a new one i don't i've not even tried
7:55
Speaker 3: that one i know.
7:56
Speaker 2: There's a couple that i think we're gonna have to
7:58
Speaker 2: do we're gonna have to go and do like a
7:59
Speaker 2: little tasting yeah i love.
8:00
Speaker 1: That let's sign me up wherever that happens to be
8:03
Speaker 1: taking place and you brought the grapefruit beer in with
8:06
Speaker 1: you this.
8:06
Speaker 2: Year like you always do that's always a classic is.
8:08
Speaker 1: That a germ i think the whole thing citrus fruit
8:12
Speaker 1: grapefruit Not something that's grown in Germany, to the best
8:15
Speaker 1: of my knowledge. How in God's name did a grapefruit-flavored
8:19
Speaker 1: infused beer or beverage end up becoming synonymous with German?
8:22
Speaker 3: I want to say it started more with, like, they
8:25
Speaker 3: would add, like, lemon to their beer.
8:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, like lemonade.
8:29
Speaker 3: Like, get a little citrusy flavor to it.
8:31
Speaker 1: Kind of like Corona with lime.
8:32
Speaker 3: Right. I want to say the grapefruit kind of was
8:36
Speaker 3: more Americanized. But they would add, like, sprites or, like,
8:41
Speaker 3: citrusy flavors. drinks to their beer okay yes i think
8:44
Speaker 3: to make it more refreshing after they've been working okay so.
8:47
Speaker 1: It's just an extension of something we're doing anyway yes
8:49
Speaker 1: yes not with grapefruit correct yeah i.
8:51
Speaker 2: Think the grapefruit grapefruit was more like we americanized it
8:54
Speaker 2: a little bit but yeah we sure do.
8:58
Speaker 1: It's eight coming up at 8 15 we're going to
8:59
Speaker 1: continue with donna schwab and october fest folks in studio
9:02
Speaker 1: we have oh wait a minute somebody just said my
9:03
Speaker 1: butt's perfect facebook instant message Rebecca, you are too damn kind.
9:08
Speaker 1: Thank you. I love you, too. Thank you. Coming back,
9:11
Speaker 1: we'll talk about some of the events with the music.
9:13
Speaker 1: We're going to talk a little bit more about what's
9:14
Speaker 1: going to be out there and why it's a great
9:16
Speaker 1: idea to get out to the Adonis Robin Octoberfest. Don't
9:20
Speaker 1: go away. Be right back. 55KRC. The Talk Station. 819.
9:23
Speaker 1: The 55KRC Talk Station. Is Thomas eating?
9:36
Speaker 2: Of course not.
9:37
Speaker 1: I would never do that in the studio. Here, hold on.
9:42
Speaker 1: I had to wash that down. Anyhow, if I were eating,
9:45
Speaker 1: that was a theoretical wash down of Donna's Robin Sausage.
9:48
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called? Donna's Robin Sausage?
9:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:50
Speaker 2: I mean, it's our own homemade. It's our very own recipe.
9:53
Speaker 1: Okay.
9:54
Speaker 2: Yes.
9:54
Speaker 1: Well, I was thinking of Blazing Saddles. You know, 15
9:58
Speaker 1: is my limit on schnitzel grub. I just ate three
10:00
Speaker 1: Donna Schrauben sausages in the last 10 minutes.
10:03
Speaker 2: Right, right.
10:03
Speaker 3: Yes.
10:04
Speaker 1: I got 12 more to go.
10:05
Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, you still have more.
10:08
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Donna Schrauben Oktoberfest on Facebook. And they have their
10:11
Speaker 1: own website, too. It's Cincy with a Y, Donna, D-O-N-A-U.com.
10:16
Speaker 1: Joe's going to put those links up to the 55
10:17
Speaker 1: KRC Morning Show website. So you know where to go
10:20
Speaker 1: and when to be there. When does it start?
10:23
Speaker 2: Starts tonight at 5.30 p.m. And ends around 11 tonight.
10:27
Speaker 2: That's a Corrine Township's idea. Sound ordinance. They have a
10:31
Speaker 2: sound ordinance, so we have to end at 11. There's
10:33
Speaker 2: always somebody out there bursting somebody's brother. And then it
10:37
Speaker 2: goes on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. And
10:39
Speaker 2: then Sunday... It's 12 to 8, but we also have
10:42
Speaker 2: the car show on Sunday.
10:44
Speaker 1: Oh, no kidding.
10:44
Speaker 2: Which is from 10 to 3, and registration's $ 20. And
10:49
Speaker 2: awards are at 3 o'clock for that on Sunday.
10:51
Speaker 1: Bet you like German cars there.
10:53
Speaker 2: I think, like, it's just a whole lot of everything. Honestly, yeah.
10:57
Speaker 2: We see so many different kinds of cars. Newer, older. Yeah,
11:02
Speaker 2: it's really pretty cool.
11:02
Speaker 1: So really, if someone has a subjective opinion in their
11:05
Speaker 1: head that their car should be at a car show,
11:07
Speaker 1: then you will welcome them.
11:08
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Fantastic.
11:10
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah.
11:11
Speaker 2: So that's something that we've started doing. But yeah, it's
11:13
Speaker 2: our 34th annual Oktoberfest at Donner's Robin.
11:16
Speaker 1: Now, there's a history behind how it ended up. You
11:19
Speaker 1: and other German clubs, as I've come to understand, were
11:21
Speaker 1: the ones responsible for the original downtown Cincinnati Oktoberfest?
11:24
Speaker 2: Yes, we were. Yeah, we all kind of helped organize it,
11:29
Speaker 2: start it, and then we kind of all branched off
11:31
Speaker 2: and started our own at our own club. So it
11:34
Speaker 2: kind of, we're carrying on traditions from all around and
11:37
Speaker 2: we still dance down at the downtown Oktoberfest as well.
11:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you do. I guess what happened to
11:42
Speaker 1: become a little more homogenized and not German enough? I mean,
11:45
Speaker 1: you really focus on the German.
11:47
Speaker 2: Heritage and culture. We keep it very, very much authentic
11:51
Speaker 2: to our own people and I know Colpin and Germania
11:54
Speaker 2: try to do the same thing. And so it kind
11:56
Speaker 2: of just became more so like a little bit again,
11:58
Speaker 2: like we said, Americanized, you know, everyone kind of. Now
12:01
Speaker 2: you're selling things that maybe aren't as authentic. And so
12:04
Speaker 2: we kind of try to keep it pretty authentic at
12:06
Speaker 2: our club too.
12:07
Speaker 1: With the exception of Schofholfer Hefeweizen beer grapefruit flavor. That
12:12
Speaker 1: would be an Americanized beer.
12:13
Speaker 2: Definitely Americanized.
12:14
Speaker 1: Still allowed.
12:15
Speaker 2: We throw some Americanized stuff in there, you know. But
12:18
Speaker 2: we try to keep it pretty authentic. Yeah, unfortunately. Unfortunately.
12:23
Speaker 1: Why drink beer if you drink Miller Lite?
12:24
Speaker 2: I know.
12:25
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. What's the point?
12:27
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.
12:28
Speaker 1: Quantity. No, no, no.
12:31
Speaker 4: Don't even say that, because the Schofer-Holfer hefeweizen beer comes
12:38
Speaker 4: in at a raging alcohol by volume content of 2.5.
12:43
Speaker 2: So, yeah.
12:44
Speaker 1: So it's basically water.
12:45
Speaker 2: Basically juice. It's grapefruit juice.
12:47
Speaker 1: With a little kick.
12:49
Speaker 2: No, it's going to be all weekend. It is going
12:50
Speaker 2: to be all weekend. It's a $ 5 admission.
12:54
Speaker 1: Pays yourself.
12:55
Speaker 2: And kids under 12 get in for free.
12:57
Speaker 1: Love that.
12:58
Speaker 2: Yes, yes. We also have a whole kids area. So
13:01
Speaker 2: bring your kids out. There's games. There's a whole little playground.
13:04
Speaker 2: So don't be afraid if you have little kids. Bring
13:06
Speaker 2: them out.
13:07
Speaker 1: No, they'll love it.
13:07
Speaker 2: They'll love it. It's so fun. Yeah.
13:09
Speaker 1: Now, in terms of music.
13:11
Speaker 2: We have our very own Alpen Echoes.
13:14
Speaker 1: Yes.
13:15
Speaker 2: So they'll be performing all weekend. And we have some
13:17
Speaker 2: German bands, some bands coming from Germany. And we also
13:20
Speaker 2: have bands coming from other places in the States that
13:23
Speaker 2: are coming down to perform just for us, like friends
13:25

Speaker 1: Well, I know everyone is really thankful for the German
14:36
Speaker 1: heritage we have in Cincinnati. At least they should be,
14:38
Speaker 1: and that's why we love having Herr Toltzmann on to
14:40
Speaker 1: just remind people about how steep we are in German heritage. And,
14:43
Speaker 1: of course, all the German clubs remind us of that,
14:46
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate your focus on the heritage and
14:48
Speaker 1: keeping those young people involved and reminding them of where
14:50
Speaker 1: they came from. I think it's just really important.
14:52
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, my grandma and grandpa, they're both immigrants
14:57
Speaker 2: from Austria and Germany. And so we really like it's
15:01
Speaker 2: important to me and my family to be a part
15:02
Speaker 2: of it. And also, even if you're not a family
15:06
Speaker 2: member of an immigrant, they come and they celebrate and
15:08
Speaker 2: they dance with us. And then it's still keeping our family.
15:11
Speaker 2: like heritage alive because it's being spread to other people
15:14
Speaker 2: who maybe wouldn't have heard of it before. So it's
15:16
Speaker 2: definitely really amazing. And it's something that's really important to us.
