Music, sketches and an unusual peanut riddle ensured a great atmosphere at the fifth apple wine festival in Nauheim
Conviviality, good entertainment, and an unusual riddle were the focus of the fifth annual apple wine festival hosted by the Odenwald Club (OWK) Groß-Gerau. Nearly 70 members and friends of the club gathered at the "Zum Rosengarten" inn in Nauheim to enjoy an entertaining evening together. Besides culinary specialties and musical performances, the question of how many peanuts were in a large glass jar provided plenty of conversation.
Apples as decoration and a sweet surprise
Under the motto "An apple doesn't fall far from the tree," the Odenwald Club had invited guests to its traditional apple wine festival. Chairman Wolfgang Schmall and Ina Kohrs were delighted to welcome nearly 70 guests.
In keeping with the theme, the tables were decorated with numerous apples, creating an autumnal atmosphere.
Hildegard Lochmüller had prepared a special surprise. She had crafted small apples with blossoms, which were filled with a sweet treat.
Thank you to the dedicated helpers
An important part of the program was the recognition of the voluntary work in the Odenwald Club.
Chairman Wolfgang Schmall thanked the members who had provided special support to the club during the year or who had been involved in work at the club's own clubhouse.
"Without you, the OWK would not be viable," Schmall emphasized in his thank-you speech.
As a token of appreciation, Beate Bolbach and Else Schuster presented the helpers with small gifts.
555 peanuts caused great speculation
A large glass jar full of peanuts caused excitement and numerous attempts to guess the amount.
The guests were asked to guess the number of peanuts inside as accurately as possible. There was much discussion and calculation.
Finally, Ina Kohrs revealed the secret: There were exactly 555 peanuts in the jar.
Steffi Höll, Rudolf Groh, Reinhard Roth, Dennis Eschley, Ellen Rüddenklau and Edelgard Rietz were delighted to receive attractive, lovingly packaged prizes.
Sketches, songs and Frankfurter Kranz
Ralf Uhlemann and Henry Turbanisch provided further entertainment. With short sketches and self-penned songs, they enriched the program and contributed to the lively atmosphere.
The evening's cuisine also reflected regional traditions. After a hearty meal, Frankfurter Kranz was served as a sweet finale – a fitting accompaniment to the apple wine, which is closely associated with the Frankfurt region.
With the farewell words of Ina Kohrs and Wolfgang Schmall, a convivial evening came to an end, which once again clearly demonstrated the strong sense of community within the Odenwald Club.
