This RU-vid channel is dedicated to two of my loves in life: the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect and music. Videos helping people learn and practice PA Dutch will be posted here. I hope that these videos will help to preserve our rich language and culture as well as promote it among future generations. From time to time, I will also post videos of acoustic folk music being performed.

I am sure it does! 😀 Fritsche is a short form of the German name Friedrich (engl. Frederick). It's uncommon nowadays but it used to be Popular until the 19th century. Friedrich is Old-High-German (500 - 1000 AC) means Lord of Peace.

I just moved to Durham, NC from the Orlando area and on Sunday I was headed to my new Lutheran church and there were two of three lanes closed in my direction for a Walk for Hope. They came out of the local state park. It was a beautiful day for a run/walk -- clear, unhumid and coolish. I am not sure how long an event this was but it was probably for a good cause. PA German triathlon: hike five miles on the Appalachian trail with a 30 pound backpack on your back, eat five funnel cakes, toss 20 bales of hay from the ground to the hay wagon. That ought to do it.

Thanks for your post. I remember my mother telling me early on that we had Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors that settled in Lancaster County, PA. That always stuck with me. Ironically, a 5th grade teacher of mine commented that Germany as we know it, was not an entity in the early years of our country. In the late 1980s I visited family in Sterling, Kansas and recall driving behind a black buggy being pulled by two horses and was told the people were Mennonites.

I don’t have any bright ideas for a PA Dutch triathlon. But I just gotta say that I say the exact same thing that you do!!! Especially when the Summer Olympics come around… in my opinion, the only thing stranger than the street long distance running is the Track long distance races 🤣 WHY would you ever do that? Run around a track a million times in order to win a gold medal? It’s just so silly 🤭

Doug and Chris, you're provoking one of my pet peeves here. After all, what is exercise supposed to be for, but improving one's health? Inevitably though, some folks have to take things to an unhealthy extreme! Everyone I know who runs regularly is dealing with leg/foot pain. I know three otherwise smart people (2 of them phd's) who were hit by cars while riding bicycle on city streets--one of them actually run over and had to spend a summer in traction. I knew a guy who got into triathlons and ended up getting into trouble during the swimming segment and drowning. Does this sound healthy? Not to me!

PA Dutch Triathlon Events: Escape Pig Re-Penning (10 pigs returned), Kraut-Krocking (shred, salt, and weight 5 heads of cabbage in a crock), and a Coop Clean-Out (shoveling out chicken coop to wheelbarrow and dump in compost on top a hill, 4 round trips). PA Dutch Olympics should definitely have Quoits, maybe an Egg-Toss Relay (4-member team tosses 2 doz. fresh eggs from chickens in coop to a kitchen basket or trays in a refrigerator, and definitely some event involving trips back and forth hauling something between the top/bottom of a bank barn. Good to hear people still play Quoits!! Everyone I know out west now plays Pickleball or Cornhole. Even visiting the farm in PA last summer, no quoits, just Cornhole. I knew it was regional but I never guessed it was such a small region where it's popular (or even played).
@virginiasoskin9082
@virginiasoskin9082 16 дней назад
YES! We grew up with quiots (the older men usually played that), and the whole freinshaft played "beanbags" way before cornhole was invented. My uncle had made the beanbag targets by hinging together 3 squares of plywood. They traveled flat, and to play a game you opened them up and stabilized them with metal hooks and eyes. One side had the hole (which my aunt painted as clowns with wide open mouths) , the second side was the unit bottom, and the third side, the back. When done playing they folded up to transport. I got really good at that game. We had a whole beanbag tournament at our 3-day family reunion in the PA mountains north of McAllisterville in Juniata county. I won the prize -- a pack of gum. ha, ha.... an excellent family game with lots of hoorays, groans, suspense and much laughter and teasing!
