First book signing of the 2010 holiday season was at The Country Loft in New Ulm. New Ulm is home to Hermann the German--a statue honoring Minnesota's largest immigant group. Hermann is mentioned in my book and I had never seen him in person, so I had to stop by and say, "Guten Tag!" Hermann is the 3rd largest copper statue in the United States and was refurbished a few years ago after too many Minnesota winters took their toll. We can all relate to that!!
The gift shop where I signed books had delicious home made fudge for sale. Customers were lined-up out the door for a sample of salted nut roll fudge, carmel apple fudge and cookies and cream fudge. I'm a purist where fudge is concerned--the plain old chocolate was calling out to me all afternoon.

And because it was Oktoberfest in New Ulm and eighty degrees, we had to stop for a cold beer at the German restaurant across the street. And then we had to sample the bratwurst, the rye bread, the hot potato salad, and the bread pudding. Uff da!
