IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0GERMANFEST, INC. WAS FORMED TO PROMOTE GERMAN CULTURE AND THE COMMUNITY OF MUENSTER, TX THROUGH THE CELEBRATION OF BOTH. HERITAGE PARK WAS CONSTRUCTED BY GERMANFEST, INC. FOR THIS PURPOSE. HERITAGE PARK IS A 61 ACRE PROPERTY WITH A 60,000 SQUARE FOOT INDOOR PAVILION WITH STAGE, A LARGE COVERED AMPHITHEATER, PARKING LOTS, AND LANDSCAPED GROUNDS. HERITAGE PARK WILL RECEIVE FACILITY USAGE FEES AND 10% OF THE PROFITS FROM EVENTS HOSTED BY THE MUENSTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THESE EVENTS WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THE ANNUAL MUENSTER, TX GERMANFEST EVENT CELEBRATING THE COMMUNITY AND HERITAGE OF MUENSTER, TX. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HERITAGE PARK CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.HERITAGE-PARK.NET. GERMANFEST, INC. IS IN ITS NINTH YEAR SINCE FORMATION. IT HAS TAKEN LONGER THAN ORIGINALLY EXPECTED TO COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF HERITAGE PARK. HAD THE PARK BEEN COMPLETED SOONER, THE PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AND PROGRAM REVENUE WOULD HAVE EXCEEDED THE 33 1/3% REQUIREMENT THIS YEAR. HOWEVER, MUENSTER, TX IS A SMALL TOWN WITH LIMITED FUNDRAISING RESOURCES. WHEN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REALIZED THAT THE MAIN CONTRIBUTORS TO THE ORGANIZATION COULD COMPROMISE THE PUBLICLY SUPPORTED STATUS OF GERMANFEST, INC., A PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE FUNDS THROUGH LOANS AND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND BUSINESSES. WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL, HERITAGE PARK WILL BE SELF-SUFFICIENT, MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY THROUGH PROCEEDS FROM EVENTS HELD THERE. THIS IS THE FOURTH YEAR THE FACILITY HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR USE, AND CONSTRUCTION IS ALMOST COMPLETE ON THE PARK. COMMUNITY EVENTS ARE SCHEDULED TO BRING IN ENOUGH PROGRAM REVENUE TO COVER THE COST OF COMPLETING THE FACILITY WITHOUT RELYING ON ADDITIONAL EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS.
