Our friends with the St. Hubertus Schϋtzenverein in San Diego, California hosted their annual Schϋtzenfest over the weekend of June 23-25, 2023. The Phoenix Club of Brea, along with our friends from Las Vegas Schϋtzen attended the event.
Friday evening, the groups enjoyed dinner and drinks together, courtesy of out-going König Leo Herridge.
On Saturday, the group enjoyed brunch in Old Town San Diego. Following brunch, the afternoon was spent in North Park touring a variety of micro-breweries doing a bit of beer tasting. That evening, after a great dinner prepared by the German American Societies of San Diego, the festivities began with the announcement of St. Hubertus' new König, Scott Charlesworth. Donna Charlesworth was First Ritter and Renato Fogliano was Second Ritter. The evening continued on with music, dancing, and of course, a Prost or two.
Sunday morning was the competition shooting. Brea's shooting team included Kerstin Wurmnest, Alistair Craig, and Mark Delsman. After all of the teams had shot, and the scores were tallied, the winners were:
1st Place - San Diego with 255 pts

3rd Place - Las Vegas with 185 pts
