Johan at Snowbird
Must give you a brief bit of our trip to Snowbird Resort in Utah to brag about your Uncle John and his Swiss upbringing.
Johan( as he was quickly named by the Salzburg Band) was one of the contestants in a yodeling contest. Each contestant was given a quick lesson in how to yodel and the fun began. Johan was last in line to perform . Much to the surprise of the band and the stockholders at the convention, he gave it his best. After cheers from the audience, he had to reveal his history of learning to yodel from his dad (the original Grandpa Scheuber) as he listened to him yodel while tractoring around his ranch.
A Brief History of Snowbirds Oktoberfest
Thirty-one years ago, inspired by the towering mountains that reminded them of their homeland, two men costumed in leather lederhosen, came to Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort to play their accordions and sing in their native German tongue. Over the years, Oktoberfest has become the premier celebration of German food, music, dance and fun.
