German Club President Birnie Jeffries of St. Anthony, center, raised his beer stein as he and other German Club members heartily sang "Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy, Oi, Oi, Oi," as is tradition after tapping the first keg in the beer garden after the Burgermeister Proclamation Thursday evening kicking off the 2011 Jasper Strassenfest. "If our forefathers were here today, they would be proud we've kept our heritage and its traditions alive," Jeffries said.
