History of Schmeckfest
In 1987, the Eureka chapter of the Germans from Russia hosted an annual "Schmeckfest" in the Eureka School Auditorium. They hosted a meal, which they prepared and served, and local entertainment followed. As the event grew, it became an annual event held every third weekend in September. We hope you will enjoy a weekend full of local entertainment, good food, old-time music, and time to visit with family and friends.
