A Royal Welcome
As the 49th Royal Lady of the Autumn Leaves, I am delighted to welcome you to our Bavarian Village. Situated near the eastern slopes of the Cascades, we are able to enjoy the ever-changing views of nature daily. Because we have four spectacular seasons, a visit to Leavenworth any time of the year is special. January brings a time to mosey down Front Street after hours of snowshoeing, downhill or cross-country skiing, or sledding in the park. As the wildflowers begin to bloom and the spring salmon run in the river, our attention turns to hiking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting and cycling. Maifest is the official festival celebrating spring and excitement fills the air. The flowerbaskets are hung and its time to schedule a winery tour and ride in the horse-drawn carriage downtown. Summer is here. Reserve your tickets for one of the three musical productions performed by actors, singers, and dancers from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Its fall. You can smell it in the air. My favorite time of the year. Its such a beautiful time of year. Were preparing for the Washington State Autumn Leaf Festival on September 28-30. There are at least 75 entries in our parade. The famous food booths are set up on Eighth Street. People are in their Bavarian finery doing the chicken dance. Its now time to begin to begin planning our decorations for Christmas. But first its Christkindlemarkta German outdoor festival in the park with crafts, food, and music held Thanksgiving weekend for the children. Leavenworth Christmas Lighting is the first three weekends in December. Santa, Father Christmas, and St. Nicholas plus elves, nutcrackers, reindeer, Frosty, and the Grinch delight children of all ages. After the lighting ceremony the crowd is asked to join the vocalist to sing Christmas carols. - Sandy Siegert, Leavenworth Royal Lady

magiC
Volunteers create Bavarian theme

Leavenworths magic wouldnt be possible without the hard work and dedication of an incredibly diverse group of people and organizations. In order to make sure that the magic never dies in our Bavarian Village, these people and organizations spend thousands of hours each year to make sure it all comes together. As always, its impossible to give all the credit where its due, but these select groups are truly the foundation of our village.
Projekt Bayern
If you ever wondered who is behind most of the Bavarian tradition in Leavenworth, look no farther than Projekt Bayern. Formed in 1996, Projekt Bayern is now one of the mainstays of Leavenworth and all the town has to offer. Projekt Bayerns contributions to the Bavarian Village are many and varied. The group helped form Musikkapelle Leavenworththe town band, and also helped costume Edelweiss Tanz Gruppe the towns German dance group. They are responsible for erecting the Maibaum (May pole) used in various celebrations throughout the year. They also funded the paintings on the Festhalle and helped build the town bier wagen, the town fountain on Eighth Street and the sculpture at the Festhalle at Front and 10th streets. Perhaps the largest contribution Projekt Bayern is responsible for is Oktoberfest, the annual celebration of the harvest and beer. With Projekt Bayerns help, Oktoberfest has grown from a lightly attended, one-weekend festival to a three-weekend event that attracts thousands. Projekt Bayern is also behind another of Leavenworths festivals, Christkindlmarkt (Christ Child market), which is held Thanksgiving weekend.
As you might imagine, it takes the work of many to make the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth come alive. Here, a group trachten clad locals offer a hearty, Willkommen zu Leavenworth.
Royal Bavarians
A group of early supporters of the Washington State Autumn Leaf Festival started meeting to discuss the goodwill of the Bavarian Village and the need for official ambassadors. In the early 70s this small group of Bavarian theme supporters formed The Royal Bavarians with Owen Watson as the first Kanzler (German for president). Other members were Wilfred Davy, Bill Garrecht, Lenard Smith, Dick Stroup and Lynn Watson. Chartered by the city of Leavenworth in 1974, The Royal Bavarians are the official hosting and greeting organization for the city of Leavenworth. The organization supports the Washington State Autumn Leaf Festival, assists the Royal Lady as needed, and escorts the float to all the parades held by the Northwest Festival Hosting Association members.
Autumn Leaf Festival Association

In a town known for its festivals, the Autumn Leaf Festival is the granddaddy of them all. In 1962, Leavenworth began its transformation to a facsimile of a Bavarian village. In 1964, the first Autumn Leaf Festival occurredthe original Leavenworth festival. Ever since that beginning, Leavenworth has celebrated the beauty of the fall season with an Autumn Leaf Festival. Its still going strong after 49 years as we approach our "Golden Anniversary". The Autumn Leaf Festival
4
Association (ALFA) is the volunteer group that is responsible for putting on the festival in Leavenworth. Besides hosting the thousands of visitors who come every last weekend in September to view the Grand Parade (Leavenworths largest and one of the largest in the state) and to enjoy the beautiful fall weather, entertainment, and festive atmosphere, the ALFA organization also builds a float for the parade. That float, representing Leavenworth, is then taken to parades in cities and towns throughout the Pacific Northwest and Canada. If one has a float, one needs a queen of course. Just as the Autumn Leaf Festival is unique, so too is its queen. In Leavenworths case she is known as the Royal Lady of the Autumn Leaves and is chosen each March to reign over the festival the following fall. One of the things that makes her unique is that she is to be a mature lady (meaning over 50). The selection of the Royal Lady is a closely guarded secret only revealed at the annual gala dinner in March. Leavenworth welcomes floats and groups from all hosting cities including those in Oregon and CanAutumn Leaf President ada as well as Penny Carpenter -Ressler Washington. and First Gentleman John.
Bavarian Design Review Board

Ever wonder how Leavenworth maintains its Bavarian character in its buildings and signs? Leavenworths Design Review Board assists designers, builders and businesses to promote Leavenworths Old World Bavarian theme through the review of new building plans, substantial remodels and signs in the business district. The board is comprised of five members who are appointed by the City Council and mayor and act as an official advisory board to the city. Members are carefully chosen because of their knowledge of Bavarian architecture and experience. They volunteer their time for the betterment of Leavenworth.

h istory
Colorful history goes back to 1800s

The story of Leavenworths first 100 years starts and ends with Icicle Ridge and the towering mountain range that shelters the town. The majestic landscape has remained the only constant. Its beauty and abundance drew in eras of eclectic characters who reinvented Leavenworth time and time again.
The Early Years, mid-1800s

The first people to roam Icicle Valley were the Psquosa, or the Wenatchi, as the settlers called them. They survived by fishing, hunting, picking berries, digging camas roots and other native plants. The salmon runs brought thousands of American Indians from all around the inland Northwest to harvest these great fish all along the Wenatchee River and Icicle River. The gatherings lasted weeks and included ritual dancing, trade, stories and contests. Mining brought an influx of people to after gold was discovered in what is now known as the Blewett Pass area in 1860. Of the hundreds of mines The Hummingbird continued production until 1975. The mining camps housed miners of all nationalities including Irish, Scandinavian, Chinese, German and English. Those in the camps depended on a small settlement in the valley, present-day Leavenworth, for shipping, supplies and liquor. The settlement was named Icicle, from the American Indian word nasikelt or narrow-bottom canyon.
Leavenworths streets were abuzz with saloons, brothels, a general store, a school and an opera house. The town was lawless until 1906 when an official city government and sheriffs office were established. The areas population exploded to eight times its original number, from 300 in 1900 to 2,500 in 1915, which is approximately the population in Leavenworth today. Between 1910 and 1920, the first hospital, library, cemetery, orchard, modern water system and irrigation district were created.
Industry leaves, depression sets in, 1920s-1960s

In 1925 the GNRC announced its plans to relocate its headquarters to Wenatchee and move its tracks away from Tumwater Canyons dangerous avalanches through Chumstick Canyon instead. The pullout was a heavy blow to the towns economy. The sawmill closed a year later. Most of the river-accessible logs had been harvested and shipping was difficult with the loss of the railroad. The sudden loss of Leavenworths two driving industries, in addition to the first and second world wars, caused a mass exodus. Those who were able to find work depended on the
U.S. Forest Service, schools, the hospital, small businesses or logging operations. Life remained slow for 30 years. Leavenworth area residents enjoyed lighting the Christmas tree in the City Park and also baseball leagues, town dances and church events. A world-famous ski hill shook up the quiet times. A group of Norwegian settlers built a toboggan run and a ski jump in the late 20s. Skiing became the new buzz in town, bolstered by the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club established in 1929. Spectators in waves of 10,000 a weekend came to watch the international jumping competition, which several locals won. The events stopped when international ski jumping standards changed in the mid-1970s.
Project LIFE rescues town

By the 50s it was clear that outdoor recreation was not enough for the town to make a living. Businesses were failing. Leavenworth was dubbed a welfare town and jobs were hard to come by. A group of residents banded together to find a way to end the 30-year depression. They were determined not to let their Leavenworth
Railroad, lumber boom, 1890-1920s

The first route across Stevens Pass was built by The Great Northern Railway Company (GNRC) in 1892. The townsite was across the river from Icicle and was named Leavenworth the same year rail construction began. Captain Charles Leavenworth, president of the Okanogan Investment Company, purchased the land in presentday downtown and laid streets parallel to the new tracks. The railroad was completed in the dead of winter 1893. It was the valleys first connection to the west coast and everything east. Leavenworth became railroad central. Seven sets of tracks were laid downtown where Highway 2 is now. GNRC also built a roundhouse for turning engines where the present-day Enzian Inn is located. The riverfront at the present-day Enchantment Park was the staging point for the areas second biggest industry, timber. LaFayette and Chauncery Lamb, brothers from Iowa, arrived in 1903 to build the states second largest sawmill. The LambDavis Lumber Company brought in a $2 million fortune after two years of business. At one point the company employed more than 1,000 men.

(Leavenworth Improvement for Everyone) dedicated to create a community plan of action. In 1964 the Vesta Junior Womens Club of Leavenworth won a $10,000 national prize for improvements in Leavenworth. That and the savvy promotions of Leavenworth residents brought new attention and helped sustain the change. It was done without coercion and without government aid. On a summer evening in 1965 at the Tumwater Inn, the Project LIFE committees unanimously agreed to go alpine and officially commit to a Bavarian theme and by 1968, 14 buildings had been remodeled. Leavenworth will always be a work in progress. Beginning with the Autumn Leaf Festival in 1964 the town learned to develop new events every year. Leavenworth will host 19 festivals this year, as well as summer theater, art shows and outdoor recreation events that keep visitors coming back year after year. grass-level marker.

Selected items for burial included a 2006 telephone book together with a cell phone and directions for use, a pound of fudge with guaranteed longevity, restaurant menus, local paintings and photographs of Leavenworths past and present provide a complete history of the fish hatcheries, plus several wine bottles from local wineries. Also included are personal biographies and personal items reflecting the style of living at this time.

New owners of the Squirrel Tree Restaurant at Coles Corner, introduced the alpine theme in 1960 and constructed their neighboring motel in a Swiss alpine style.

Leavenworths namesake honored at Museum

By Upper Valley MUseUM at leaVenworth The Bavarian Village of Leavenworth is one of the best known, and best loved, tourist destinations on the West Coast. Occasionally, visitors have questioned how the city was named and why the name is not more befitting our Bavarian theme. Local residents are generally quick to rally around the name of Leavenworth, and a change in our citys name has never been seriously considered. However, most folks know little about Leavenworths namesake, and how our town came to bear his name. The Upper Valley Museum at Leavenworth hopes to change that. Thanks to the generosity of the Randall Meehan family, residents of Grants Pass, Oregon, the Museum has recently acquired a rare and unique collection of artifacts that were personal possessions of Captain Charles F. Leavenworth, the man who gave the town its name. These items include a highly ornate ceremonial Masonic Lodge sword, with Captain Leavenworths name engraved on both the blade and scabbard. Other treasures include Captain Leavenworths 140 year old surveyors transit and wooden tripod stand, his silver pocket watch and a daily diary in his own handwriting. Captain Leavenworth lived his final years in Jacksonville, Oregon. He died in 1909 of a sudden brain hemorrhage, and was buried in the Jacksonville cemetery. Randall Meehans great grandfather was a close personal friend of Captain Leavenworth, and upon his death, Captain Leavenworths widow gave a number of his personal possessions to Mr. Meehan. These items have been carefully stored and handed down by members of the Meehan family. Recently, the Meehans decided that the Upper Valley Museum at Leavenworth would be the most appropriate

location for these artifacts to be housed and displayed. The Museum is Photos by Mike Cecka excited to receive this significant addition to A r t i f a c t s f r o m t h e l a t e C a p t a i n its collection. Work is Leavenwor th have r ecently been donated to the Upper Valley Museum at currently underway to Leavenworth. The items are set to go on appropriately exhibit display at the museum this year. and display them. The museum is planning an unveiling event in early June 2012. When it will place the artifacts on public display for the first time. Meanwhile, museum volunteers are actively engaged in research to fill in some of the details about the life of the man who gave Leavenworth his name. We know that he was born in New York. He briefly enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War. He crossed the Great Plains by stagecoach shortly after the War and in 1893 the Okanogan Investment Company platted a new town along the Great Northern Railroad line. This new town, at the base of the Cascade Mountains, was named Leavenworth in recognition of the companys president. The Upper Valley Museum at Leavenworth is engaged in research to fill in a few more of the details and with the artifacts now in its possession, will be in an outstanding position to tell this fascinating story.

Christmas Lighting Festival

Leavenworths Christmas Lighting Festival is the standard by which all other Christmas Festivals are measured. A festival that truly captures the international flavor of Christmas, it has been honored by Arts and Entertainment Television, the Travel Channel and Home and Garden Television. A special early morning lighting ceremony was held a few years ago in order to wish the entire country a Merry Christmas on Good Morning America! live from New York at 7 a.m. eastern time. Whether it is a romantic carriage ride through the streets, a glass of Glwein (hot spiced German wine) in the park, the smell of roasting chestnuts, singing along with the carolers in front of the Gazebo, shopping for a truly unique present in our gift shops that offer goods from all over the world, taking the grandkids sledding in Front Street Park, having your picture taken with one of our many colorful Christmas characters, or just watching the sparkle in childrens eyes when the lighting ceremony turns on the Christmas lights each evening, there is a special memory for everyone who
has been to Leavenworth for Christmas. A Leavenworth Christmas is a delightful blend of old world and new world traditions that keep visitors coming back year after year. A Leavenworth Christmas is a special treat that brings out the child in all of us. And now, with Amtrak service to the Bavar-
ian Village, traveling over the pass is no longer an issue. So be sure not to miss the best Christmas party in the country. Its a memory the entire family will share for every Christmas to come. www.leavenworth.org

Sherry Schweizer
Sherry and her husband owned property on Blewett Pass and would come over to stay at our cabin in the summer and on weekends. In 1993, the family moved from Federal Way to Leavenworth to let the children enjoy country living. She has been employed at the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce since 1996. What makes Leavenworth a great place to live? Surrounded by the Cascade Mountain range, the drive into Leavenworth is nothing short of spectacular. I love going to the grocery store, the shops and post office and visiting with friends. Its a loving caring community. I remember when Good Morning America wanted to film our lighting festival live at 4 a.m. We called every non profit agency and put notices in the paper asking people to come out at 2 a.m. We had over 1,000 people in town and everyone filled the local restaurants for breakfast after the event. When Amtrak came to town with our first train, the officials couldnt believe the reception. They had never experienced anything like it. Our community has heart and a great sense of community and Im very proud to be a part of it. What are three things to do or see in Leavenworth? Number one, with over 700 miles of trails, you can take a short hike a long hike or a week trek into the mountains. The scenery totally relaxes and refreshes your spirit. Number two, the outdoor summer theater is a must see. When you see Maria coming down the mountain singing the theme song, it is very captivating. The other plays and talent are amazing. Number three, we have many talented artists in our area. I enjoy Village Art in the Park, the creative ways artists find to create out of of recycled materials, the art walk at Sleeping Lady, and the shows showcasing local talent.

Christina Zucktriegel
Christina studied and worked in Munich, Bavaria and spent much of her childhood in Bavaria, the birthplace of her mother. After graduating high school in Leavenworth and leaving for Seattle and Europe to work and study for five years, she had the opportunity to return to Leavenworth to take over the management of the Andreas Keller Restaurant, her fathers new business at the time. As the years went by and business grew, more opportunities arose. In 1996, Cafe Mozart Restaurant, operated by Christina and husband Richard, was opened. What makes the Leavenworth culinary scene unique? The culinary scene in our small town is so expansive. One can enjoy so many European specialties with influences from Bavaria, other parts of Germany, Austria and Italy, for example. There are also great classic American and Mexican options as well. To round out the variety we even have great Asian eateries. Having so many family-owned and operated establishments, with many of these offering extensive live entertainment, makes Leavenworth very special. People often come to Leavenworth craving German food. What dish is the most popular? Schnitzels: cutlets of chicken, veal or pork, which are pounded out, lightly breaded and pan sauteed, and served with fresh lemon or a homemade sauce or gravy and high quality, authentic sausages which can be served fresh or smoked, and made from pork, beef, veal or even poultry and boiled or grilled are tied in popularity. They are the most requested German main dishes by visitors and locals alike. Why is Leavenworth special to you? Being American of strong German heritage, Leavenworth is a perfect blend of Bavaria and small town rural America for me and my family. Its a great place to live and raise a family with the amazing outdoor activities and fun business core which draw visitors from all over the world. It is a small town with a lot going on.

Hiking
The Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest provides more than 2,600 miles of trails for those who like to experience nature at a leisurely pace. Between early spring and late fall, its doubtful you can cover all those trails, but you can have fun trying. The Wenatchee River Ranger Station in Leavenworth has trail maps and other information to guide you. Its always a good idea to check with the ranger stations so you are aware of conditions before heading out on a day trip. A valid recreation pass is required at several trailheads. The U.S. Forest Service offers a $30 annual recreation pass, which is good for one year from the month of purchase, or a $5 daily pass. These passes allow the bearer to park at various recreation sites and visitor centers in Oregon and Washington national forests. An interagency annual pass is also available, $80 adults, $10 seniors. The pass provides access to and is honored at sites charging fees for entrance into federal recreation areas. If youre more adventurous and want to get into some truly pristine wilderness, be sure to check with the ranger station so you know about permits and permission you may be required to have or visit www.fs.fed.us/passespermits. Check with the Leavenworth office for the Alpine Lakes Wilderness permit. Icicle Ridge Trail - A bit of a steep climb, Icicle Ridge Trail offers nice views of the surrounding valleys.

World class wines await visitors

Who would have imagined just a few short years ago that Washington would be challenging wine growing regions like the Napa Valley as home of the best wines in the world? But today serene vineyards have replaced many orchards and boutique wineries are producing award winning varieties to tantalize the most discerning palates.
The states wine industry is roaring. In 1981 the state had 19 wineries. Today the Washington Wine Commission reports there are now more than 740 wineries in operation. Those wineries produce 12 million cases of wine, with an estimated retail value of nearly $500 million. The experts say the wine industry provides a total economic impact to the state of $3 billion. In Chelan County and the Upper Valley the growth has been proportional. From the handful of wineries 10 years ago, now more than 40 wineries, tasting rooms and vineyards dot the countys landscape. The Lake Chelan Appellation became official in 2009, and is home to 17 wineries, many of which have tasting rooms in other areas of the state. Leavenworth houses at least 12 wine tasting rooms, with more in the outlying areas of Plain, Cashmere and Peshastin. What makes Chelan County wines unique when compared to French, Chilean, California and wines from Walla Walla is the industrys newness when compared to its competitors.
Silvara Winery sits on a hill just outside of Leavenworth.

Icicle Ridge Winery offers outdoor dining.
Valley wine makers experiment with both white and red varieties with equal curiosity and passion. Its still too early to say which kinds of wines will establish a reputation in our region. Each variety continues to garner awards and high marks at wine competitions all over the world. Historically, this region has always grown grapes. But with the explosive growth in the industry, wine tastings are scheduled year-round and many wineries are open seven days a week. The most popular times to tour the vineyards are in early summer when the buds begin to break and in late summer when the grapes are at their fullest. But you wont want to miss the wine stomping during the summer crush period or the wine-and-chocolate winter tastings. Of course, wineries arent the only attraction. Before vineyards this area was considered the Apple Capital of the world, and fruit orchards still dominate the agricultural landscape. Fruit stands can be found all along Highway 2 from Monitor to Lake Wenatchee, and Highway 97 from Blewett Pass north. Tree fruit including apples, pears, nectarines, peaches, apricots, grapes and cherries are available in these picturesque stands, often tended to by their owners from early in the morning until dusk. You can also find locally produced jellies, jams and other locally produced food products like green lizard pickles. Unique arts and crafts made by local artists are also found in the quaint local fruit stands.

The Wenatchee valley is still a major world player in the production of apples and pears. Exports compete with places like New Zealand and Chile for an everexpanding market now reaching places like the Peoples Republic of China and Japan, where, for example, our Red Delicious is considered a delicacy.

Karl opened the Best Western Icicle Inn in 1992 and has lived here now for 20 years. Born and raised in Germany, he felt at home right away. Having worked successfully in Germany, England, Canada and the U.S. in the hospitality industry, he brings an international background to his position which helps him operate what we now call the Icicle Village Resort, comprised of the Best Western Plus Icicle Inn, Aspen Suites Condominium vacation rentals, Icicle Junction Activities Center and JJ Hills Fresh Grill and Catering. What makes Leavenworth lodging properties unique? In Leavenworth, you will experience lodging facilities that are nearly entirely owned and operated by residents of the community. We take great pride in offering guests the treatment and comforts that we would give them in our own homes. Many of us feel that our hotels, condominiums, bed and breakfasts and cabins are an extension of our homes and that each visitor is a personal guest. If you had only one day to spend in Leavenworth, what would you do? Oh now thats a hard question! Leavenworth offers such a diverse variety of fun opportunities that it is hard to narrow it down to just one day. Many find the Bavarian themed shops and dining are what they enjoy most, while others come to Leavenworth to enjoy the scenic views available while hiking, walking, or many other activities. Some, too, come for the wine tasting or to just relax and maybe enjoy a spa service. For myself, Id have to say a nice hike and picnic lunch with my wife makes one of the most memorable days in Leavenworth. What is your insider tip for a great vacation in Leavenworth? If you visit Leavenworth during the week, you will find prices may be lower and youll have more attention in the shops and other venues. While its always special to come to town, the more casually paced midweek days are just wonderful.

Tips for taking home your loot If youre planning to buy in quantity, bring containers or boxes with plenty of packing material so that delicate cargo will make it home safely. Burlap bags sprayed with water are great for transporting corn. This keeps the sugars in corn from turning to starch. If you have a cooler, bring it! Keeping produce cool keeps it fresh. If fresh produce is what youre after, shop for it last. You may also want to inquire about shipping. Some local growers will ship their produce year round.

Find Karl
Kids, young and old, we need your help to find Karl, the oldest and biggest nutcracker at the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum. Karl is kind of lost, and is wandering around the pages of the Sonnenschein. We need your help to find him before the other nutcrackers get worried. Can you find Karl? He is on at least 16 pages, including this one. Find the Karls in this guide and receive a "Find Karl" souvenir pin at the museum or the Leavenworth Echo!
Karls image is used with permission of the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.
Karl and close personal friend, Arlene Wagner.
