Steuben Parade says THANK YOU to all supporters
We still need your help to produce our Steuben Parade DVD
 With just a few days until the Steuben Parade, German-Americans all over the United States are looking forward to another great event celebrating German-American friendship. The early weather forecast promises "sunny" on Friday for the Greeting of our German groups, and mild and dry in the evening for our Gala Cruise; for Saturday, we are expecting a few clouds in the morning and "sunny" all day - perfect weather for the Parade and the Oktoberfest in Central Park.
Perfect weather for a bright and colorful Parade broadcast, too. Our production meetings are going well, and we are confident that this year´s broadcast will top last year´s - so many great groups, super talent hosting the broadcast, and some awesome surprises.
We are planning on producing a DVD of the broadcast, and we are still asking for your support on Kickstarter, where we are hosting out DVD fundraiser.
