Lumpenball (Hoboeball) Milwaukee 07'

Every year a small delegation of our Rheinischer Verein members visit Lumpenball. Our head Lumpenmeister is Reinhard in close competition with Karl-Heinz and his wife Erika. As our pictures confirm, our Prinz Reinhold and Prinzessin Jane were pressed into service. Our hosts were the Milwaukee Spielmannzug lead by Prinz Emanuel and Prinzess Cornelia. As traditions dictate, Lumpenball or Hoboesball is the final event of Karneval, as everyone is pennieless because all of their money had been spent on beer.

Alaaf und Helau.
