What says Happy New Year better than Cowbells?

Happy New Year, Allgäu-style!  The Allgäuer Gauverband has a fairly new tradition of ringing in the new year with cow bells, rather than shooting off fireworks.  It was a fun project started by their 1.Gauvorplattler Christoph Zweng.  They call it Allgäu Schealat. This year a few of our Gau-NA Vereine joined in (see this video link).  We hope that next year we'll have even more participation. Thanks to all that contributed.
