Performers will hit the stage at 6 p.m. the night of March 7 to entertain the crowd for Fraufest. Tickets to attend the show will be sold for $5. The date of Fraufest was offcially moved because German Club needed more time to hire a sound engineer. During the next month, they plan to make up for all the snow days and promote the event to students who would like to attend or be in the show.
“Since we didn’t have the days right after break it kind of set a lot of our preparation behind, like organizing the groups, and the banners and promotions were really slow,” German Club Sponsor Anne McPartland, who made the final decision to move Fraufest, said. “I feared that maybe we weren’t going to have the best turn out if we tried to squeeze it in now.”
In the past, Fraufest was scheduled in February because of dead time in the calendar due to fewer clubs planning events. However, by moving Fraufest to March this year, the extra downtime will provide performers with more time to prepare their pieces.
“I like that Fraufest was moved, because it gives Vanessa [Taylor] and me more time to practice, which we need,” Performer Addison Eaker said.
