At 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 30, the Ehrhardt Schuetzenfest Music Festival was started by 4-year-old Blake Folk “shooting the bird” on Main Street. This has been a tradition since the first Schuetzenfest in 1976. Dustin Folk and his son, Todd, helped Blake hold the old gun that has been in their family for 45 years, for him to shoot the quail which was released to start the 45th Festival.
