The Overseas Brats 2025 Gathering in St. Charles was fantastic! This is what happened:

• Eighty-three brats and guests attended, a startling 176% increase from the 2024 Gathering. Seeing brat friends we have known for years or meeting for the first time profoundly connects our shared experiences.
• Thanks to your incredible support of the brat cause, we were able to present a check to OSB member Sheri Oberhelman, from Camp Corral, providing for five campers. Giving brat to brat.
• OSB Ambassadors greeted brats with a warm welcome upon arrival at the hotel,
• We sipped German beer and Missouri wines in the picture-perfect village of Hermann with red brick buildings and rolling vineyards like authentic Germany.
• The sessions packed the house on Saturday.
• Dreux American High School brought 30 Vikings to St. Charles, and they are coming back!
• The Old School Throwback event brought out school garb and Saturday’s banquet Harvest Ball brought out the sparkles, great food, and dancing until we dropped.
• St. Charles was the picturesque backdrop for the Gathering with its historic downtown of charming and historic brick-lined streets, shops, and restaurants, and friendly local people. 
• Much anticipation and excitement about the 2026 Overseas Brats Hosts the Worldwide Gathering of Brats, October 29-November 1, 2026, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott, Irving, Texas.
