We wanted to remind you that the Elk Toss is on February 17, which also happens to be the same day as National Cabbage Day. Sauerkraut is made of cabbage. Coincidence?
In other news, should we invite Jason Kelce to the Elk Toss? Maybe he could give a speech to pump up the crowd before the Elk Toss? Let us know in the comments section.
The Danville German Society was founded ...to promote and celebrate Pennsylvania German culture...to educate the general public on Pennsylvania German issues...to have a good time.

9 Days Until Elk Toss
If you have not yet oiled your Lederhosen, this weekend would be a good time to do that.
The driveway was plowed yesterday with the help of Kevin the Peacock. Thanks, Kevin!

Weather Forecast
We have been getting thousands of requests for the weather forecast for the Elk Toss, and we have not been able to respond, but that soon will change. We are waiting for information from the groundhogs tomorrow, February 2, Groundhog Day. With a prediction of 6 more weeks or winter, we surely will have a cold and snowy Elk Toss. An early spring could mean sun and warmth.
Check out coverage of Punxsutawney Phil's forecast for yourself on February 2 starting at about 6:00 am on the Pennsylvania Cable Network, or live online from VisitPA.com. The actual annoucement of the forecast usually doesn't happen until around sunrise (about 7:25 am).

Driveway Update - February 1
Dispatch from the Wagner Farm...
"well
so much for passable. woke up this morning to this: it is unclear
if that man in shorts is still near the driveway, it is also unclear
what state this photo was taken in. When the sun comes up I will go
outside and see for myself. I am hoping this image is simply something
I found on goggle and NOT my actual driveway."
