GoGreen Germantown launches neighborhood beautification and sustainability projects [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
In true Germantown-Schnitzelburg style, one concerned citizen has begun a project of passion for the community's sake. Schnitzelburg Area Community Council (SACC) board member Susan Brunton has started an organization called GoGreen Germantown in order to beautify and better the area. Recently, Brunton and her husband noticed large whiskey jugs on the corner of Texas and Burnett and used their own funds to plant shrubs and flowers. The support in form of honks from passersby gave Brunton the idea to continue beautifying the neighborhood.
Miss Germantown-Schnitzelburg pageant winner to be announced at the Germantown Beer Walk [Germantown/Scnitzelburg]
The rescheduled and much anticipated Germantown Beer Walk has a new element this year: the Miss Germantown-Schnitzelburg pageant. An event that is currently solely on facebook will be brought to the public with the crowning of the democratically-elected winner at the beer walk this Saturday, May 8th. In order to vote, visitors to the pageant facebook page “like” posted pictures of the contestants, of which there are 11 females and one male. People can vote for more than one contestant, and the one with most “likes” will be crowned Miss Germantown-Schnitzelburg.
Annual Germantown Beer Walk rescheduled [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
Schnitzelburg Spring Walk, Germantown Spring Walk, Germantown Beer Walk – whichever name you choose to use, this community event is another classic example of the neighborhood’s unity. During the annual walk, Hickory Street is shut down between Burnett Avenue and Goss Avenue while pedestrians visit all the bars in that stretch, listen to music, play games, and karaoke. This year, a Louisville band called The Remedy will perform from 8pm, and The Knights of St. John charity will be conducting raffles and games.
When's that there Germantown beer walk again?
It's nearly that time again, and folks are already asking when the Germantown beer walk is. For those lost in translation, and for others just foggy about the particulars, the walk is the last Saturday in April. Every year, just right before Derby, the bars of Germantown collectively collaborate and lock down the surrounding streets of the neighborhood and allow people to walk from one bar to the next drinking and carrying on as if this were an everyday event. It's definitely a neighborhood holiday of sorts, and even a well-known festivity all about the city.
