Olper Schützenfest

Hi, Monsters, Clawdeen here!

Now what is "Olper Schützenfest"? It is a shooting match and the biggest festival in the town we live in (Olpe). The normies celebrate it once a year, it starts on the 3rd weekend of July (next week) on Friday and ends on Monday. There is a huge festival place, march music is played, there is dancing and drinking beer together (or else if you don't like beer), there are parades and on Monday morning, a new shooting king (Schützenkönig) is chosen.

The whole town is decorated with green-white flags then and you can buy food specialities like "Olper Beff" which is a rissole with a special sauce, or "Spürne" which is a kind of cold cuts, and else.

Of course we monsters cannot go between all those normies - there will be like 10 000 of them - but 5 of us have decided to celebrate our own little Schützenfest. We will have a little party here at home having Beff and Spürne. And I have made some clothes for my friends who want to join.

I started making outfits on Monday. Begun with one for myself, a white glittery crochet skirt and a green pullover with short white sleeves. Also I added two of those bracelets Skelita made and also a glass bead necklace that was given to my by Jinafire. The normie women don't wear just green and white but usually buy nice summer clothing to go there, but I decided us all having outfits in "Schützenfest colours".

On Tuesday, Cleo got her dress. As well crochet and from the white glittery yarn, I only added 5 green rhinestones at the top, and she was very happy with the result.

On Wednesday, Deuce got his outfit because, when Cleo joins, he wants to celebrate as well. For him I made white pants and a dark green and white striped top, and of course a "Schützenkappe", a cap that is worn by the male normies during the festival.

Here are the two of them together, Cleo wearing Deuces cap. As you can see, it is a little bit too small. But Deuce is not sure if he should wear it anyway because his snakes then would have to hide all under it. But he is glad to have one.

On Thursday, I finished a dress for Scarah, green with some white stripes in the skirt part. You can imagine she likes it because green is her favourite colour anyway.

And also on Thursday, I made this white glittery top and dark green skirt with white lace for Rochelle, and she got some acessoires made by Skelita - one dark green bracelet and earrings.

Now here is us five together, ready for our own "Olper Schützenfest" next week.
