It's time for Wurstfest in New Braunfels. Paul Yarbrough has more in this Bobcat Update.

This ten-day salute to sausage has something for everyone. Located in Landa Park, a short distance from the interstate, the event has multiple venues of food, drink and shopping, plus live music and rides that promises to be a fun time for the whole family.

Local vendors offer a wide array of traditional German foods from bratwurst to wiener schnitzel. And there are some not so traditional foods, several fried things you wouldn't think possible. There are numerous beers to choose from...if your old enough. And a wide assortment of live music.

Starting in 1961, this festival has gone through a few name changes from Sausage Week to Wurst Week and finally Wurstfest. It also had to change locations because the founders never imagined a small town festival that began with an attendance of two-thousand people would grow to 35-thousand during its third year. Wursfest is a non-profit organization that helps promote local commerce through tourism, that in turn, helps raise money for local civic organizations.

Wurstfest continues through November 15th with fluctuating hours depending on whether it's weekday or weekend. Tickets are ten dollars at the gate and eight if your purchase online. Drink tickets can also be purchased in advance. Children under 12 get in for free. So don your lederhosen and find that interesting hat and come down to Landa Park. Celebrate German culture and leave knowing you helped fund a worthwhile cause. For Bobcat Update, I'm Paul Yarbrough.
