Fasching at German Deli in Colleyville, Texas
Colleyville’s GermanDeli Celebrates "Fasching"
Colleyville, TX ---
GermanDeli, an ethnic food store, introduces a bit of goofy German frivolity to the Metroplex by staging its fourth annual Fasching Fest at its Retail Store at5100 Highway 121 in Colleyville on Sunday, February 7th.
The event is from noon to 5pm and is free to the public. Disc jockey, Peter Kau, will flood the event with German party music and master of ceremonies, Ron Slade, will make sure the crowd gets a good dose of silly fun. A costume contest, food tastings, wine and beer samplings, games for adults, fun for the little ones, and door prizes are some of the featured activities. Grilled bratwurst on a crusty roll will be available for purchase at a nominal cost.
The retail store is located along Colleyville’s busy Highway 121 retail corridor just north of Glade Road. Known simply as "GermanDeli" the 5,000sf specialty food store features over 5,000 individual items imported from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and several other Northern, Central and Eastern European countries, as well as sausages and cold cuts produced in the USA according to old world German and European recipes. No other retail store in the USA has a wider selection of German goods.

What is Fasching or Karnival? Almost everyone has heard of Mardi Gras but in Germany the revelry associated with the period before Lent goes by an entirely different name. In more southern parts of Germany, including Bavaria, it’s known as Fasching and further north they call it Karnival. Other regions use variations of those names, but whatever the name, the 6-month long period of festivities kicks off at 11:11 am on the 11
th day of the 11th month of the year and climaxes on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the day many people begin a 40-day observance of Lent which does not end until Easter Sunday.The Karnival and Fasching tradition has roots in ancient Greek, Roman and Germanic history, but modern German festivities were more formally organized during the last two centuries. Even the smallest of villages in Germany now typically celebrate with food, drink, dancing, parades and floats, but as anyone who has traveled to Germany in the weeks and days leading up to Lent can tell you, it is in Köln (Cologne), München (Munich), Frankfurt, Mainz, Berlin and other large cities where the celebrations are taken to extremes. Entire Societies are formed to stage parties, masked balls and street fests. Politics and politicians are lampooned in huge papier-mâché floats or by professional and amateur actors in costume. Local and national scandals and celebrities are all fair game for ridicule, and there’s a competitive element to most Fasching events when men and women host increasingly spectacular parties, outdoing one another in an attempt to gain popular votes and become the reigning Fasching or Karnival prince or princess. As with most German celebrations food is a key element. Traditional festival foods like bratwurst and roasted chicken are featured, followed by some form of decadent fried dough or doughnuts serving as a perfect symbol for this period of pre-lent overindulgence.
Open to the public, GermanDeli’s Retail Store is located at 5100 Highway 121 in Colleyville, 817-354-8101. Regular hours are Monday-Saturday 9am-7pm and Sunday 10am-6pm.

Thanks to Jimmy’s Food Store the members of the GACC North Texas Chapter and The Young Executive Committee enjoyed a delicious buffet with Italian classics like Mozzarella Caprese, a selected variety of Italian Salami and cheeses. The perfect ending to a perfect night was the bottle, cork and cap wine that Swirll exclusively made for the event and a sample of German ginger bread packed in a traditional German nut cracker shaped metal box sponsored by the German Deli. Guests also had the chance to win Dallas Star tickets drawing compliments of Eugene Flynn, attorney and counselor at law. The lucky winner was Jens Mueller.
“I wish all GACC North Texas Chapter members, friends and their families a wonderful Holiday Season and a successful 2010”, says Traute Malhotra, Director of the GACC North Texas Chapter. “I am also proud to announce that we can donate a new printer to the German International School of Dallas as a Christmas present.”
