• Maddy's Trip to Germany

  There’s no better time to visit Germany than the Fall. Yes, it is true that Munich celebrates its famous Oktoberfest for 16 days starting in September and ending the first weekend in October. Liters of delicious German beer, soft pretzels, blondes in Dimdl’s and live music are hard to resist. But, it’s also true that there is more to Germany than Oktoberfest in Fall.

  Maddy, our co-founder got to experience both the world-renowned Bavarian festival and the crisp air and orange leaves at the foot of the German Alps in a small ski town called Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the Eibsee Hotel. Here are some pictures from her special trip, where she reconnected with her German roots (Jocelyn and Maddy’s grandma is German and their Dad lived in Garmisch for 4 years).

  

  Maddy and Paul stayed at an all-wooden hotel at the foot of the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain and a few miles from Garmisch-Partenkirchen where the 1936 Winter Olympics were held.

  

  This famous castle was built as an ode to the composer Richard Wagner’s work and served as inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty castle.

  Munich! Oktoberfest with Toby, Maddy’s brother, and his buddies who met up with Maddy after running the Berlin Marathon the week prior and rewarded themselves in the Spatenbrau tent.

  

  Farewell to Germany and a big Thank You to Maddy’s family friends who showed her the German way to an authentic Oktoberfest experience. PROST!

• Tuckernucking at Spring Charity Events

  We were thrilled when invitations to fun charity events started sprouting up with the tulips this spring, giving us a great excuse to come out of hibernation to see friends, donate to important causes, and of course, show off some of our favorite spring dresses.  

  Maddy, Sophie and September co-hosted a Sumeria event to benefit charities including The Carver Project, Washington Tennis & Education Foundation, and BUILD.  Recognize any of these folks from our seasonal catalogs, Tuckernuck Styled Posts, and product shots?

  Emily wore one of our favorite little red dresses to the event, while Maddy, September, and Sophie rocked pieces from Cynthia Steffe and Paper Crown.

  

  Maddy and September were also hosts at the Corcoran Ball, which raised funds for art education programs in DC.

  When we're not wearing Tuckernuck, we're in our gym clothes...Team Tuckernuck participated in Cycle for Survival, an indoor cycling event that raised money for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
