Yale & Frankenmuth MI (July 24-25)


We headed to Frankenmuth on the 24th.  Our friends, Dave & Thelma, who were traveling with us told us about this place so we had to go see what it was all about.  Frankemuth is known as "Little Bavaria".  It was settled in 1845 by Lutheran immigrants from Germany.  When you walk through the historic section of Frankenmuth, you feel as though you are in Bavaria.  Beautiful flowers everywhere.  AND the Bronner's Christmas Wonderland is there.  It claims to be the world's largest Christmas Store.  It is larger than several football fields.

The day we arrived we were lucky enough to happen upon an antique fire engine parade and we were in the perfect spot to view it all.

On the way to Frankenmuth, we stopped in Yale to take in the Bologna Festival.  When T heard there was a bologna festival he was all about going.  The bologna is made at C. Roy's and all the beef is grown locally.  According to T it is like nothing he has had before.  They even had pickled bologna. Since I wasn't eating the bologna I got involved in a different way.  I got to bash a car.  Call me crazy,  It was fun!



Apparently the Bologna Festival is a big deal in Michigan
