Another Great Oktoberfest
|
A BIG Thank You To Everyone
Who Made Oktoberfest Such a Success!
What
a great day it was, and fun was had by all. Everywhere you looked there were smiling faces, games being
played and people enjoying relaxing conversations. The KGB (Kenny
Goodwin Band) rocked our socks off and we are hoping for a repeat
performance next year. The teen's warm up
band was also a treat and I'm sure they will have their own gigs soon.
To
the Carnival Committee and all the volunteers who worked in the booths and helped
with Saturday and Sunday set-up, a HUGE thank you, for we could not have done
it without you.
Please
consider joining the Oktoberfest committee, we're always looking for new ideas
and more help.
