You may have heard this week's spirited Word Wednesday phrase sung or chanted at the Jasper Strassenfest! "Ein Prosit" translates from German to English as "a toast" or "be well". While many associate it with drinking together, it can also be used as a celebratory phrase to encourage friendship, warmth, and good times. P.S. You can find all of the above at the Jasper Strassenfest July 30-August 2! 😎
