This business meeting, sponsored by the Big Bend Chapter, includes activities with the annual celebration of Deutchesfest at nearby Odessa, Washington which attracts thousands of visitors and is put on by volunteer descendants of the German-Russians who settled in the area at the beginning of the 20th Century. These industrious immigrants transformed the then desolate Odessa area into one of the world’s richest grain-growing areas.  Odessa has made a name for itself by taking pride in its German Heritage. Enjoy the parade, beer hall, food booths with krautrunza and kűchen.
