How it began...
The American Volkssport Association (AVA) began in Fredericksburg, TX, as part of that city's bicentennical program in 1976. Kenn Knopp was responsible for bringing Volkssporting to the U.S. from Europe. Jack Rogers, a member of the AVA in Fredericksburg since 1980, moved to Midland in December 2000. Not finding an AVA club, he called an organizational meeting in February, 2001. The Midland Walkabout Club was chartered in April 2001. The club is governed by officers all elected annually.
