ein Quertreiber = someone who is obstinate or awkward.
i don't know austanzen but i do know ausstanzen = to punch out or stamp out.
a kirchweih is a church fair often celebrating its anniversary or something, so a Sportlerkirchweih will be a church fair for sportsmen.
Woeidarawoell is bavarian for Que sera sera.

Thanks, still not sure what to expect but at least we are positive that it is a festival of some sort.

"Austanzen" is a strange word, I wouldnt use. It could mean something like dancing to exhaustion.
"Rotzloffl" should be "Rotzlöffl", same as "Saubua" - a misbehaving boy

It's all local dialect. "Kirchweih" is something like a harvest festival; a "Kirchweihfest" would be a piss-up in the standard Volksfest style.
