BACKYARD ADVENTURES 2016 PIKE PUBLISHING 13 CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 HAUBSTADT SOMMERFEST Every summer, amid the hot humid air, the annual Sommerfest celebration turns the quiet tight-knit community of Haubstadt into a homecoming celebra- tion for residents. This year's Haubstadt Sommerfest will not only celebrate the community's rich heritage, but also highlight all of Haubstadt's outdoor offerings. The annual Sommerfest celebration kicks off on Thursday, June 16, and runs through Saturday, June 18. Haubstadt Sommerfest, Inc. is a local volunteer service organization and the festival serves as a fundraiser for the organization. In turn, all the money raised is then donated back to the com- munity or is geared towards special projects, such as the recent addition of more soccer fields. Most of the events are on the grounds of the Old Haubstadt High School gym, located along West Street.
