The Lower Macungie and Macungie historical societies are joining forces to bring to The Macungie Institute a local expert on Pennsylvania Dutch traditions to talk about the historical and cultural roots of unique customs known among the Pennsylvania Dutch as Braucherei, or Powwow.

Patrick Donmoyer is the site manager at the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center at Kutztown University and has written numerous articles and two books on the Pennsylvania Dutch.
