Morgan RuysenaarsWhat is your favorite part of the festival?The connection of culture through music, dancing, and food. I also enjoy the overall experience, atmosphere, and ambiance from every participant and vendor. What changes, if any, would you like to see made to the festival? I would love to see an expansion of the grounds, the festival is continuing to grow and it can sometimes get really packed with people. Spreading out the vendors to create more space for shoppers and overall customers would allow for more room and comfort. What is one thing you like about the German culture? I recently took a trip to Germany and I love the connection of history and modern day architecture. Germany never forgets their original roots and heritage and they take pride with who they are. They also celebrate how much they have grown and love to embrace both sides of history. Why do you want to be Ms. German Fest? I want to be Ms. German Fest because my ancestors were German and I would love to be an ambassador for the festival. I want to help spread the German culture and my love for their history for others to learn and enjoy. Do you speak German? No |
