Oktoberfest
Thursday, October 30, 2014 at 6:00 p.m.

Oktoberfest this year is Thursday, October 30th, with the biergarten opening at 6:00 p.m. and dinner served around 6:30. On the menu: Usinger's bratwurst from Milwaukee, potato salad and tossed salad, sauerkraut and other pickled things, rye bread, and beer and wine. Cost will be $10 per person. Please note that this is an adult gathering, so no nursery will be provided. Since Jane needs to know how many bratwurst to order, please sign up before October 15th. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish hall, or you can call the church office to leave your name. If you'd like to contribute by bringing potato salad (German or "regular") or sauerkraut, there's a sign-up sheet for that as well in the parish hall. Danke sch�n!
