Today we went on a hike and then later joined many others in the town at the Festhalle for the 47th Annual Oktoberfest event. It is Helen's biggest celebration - beer, brats, a band playing good German music - this place has them all. We danced waltzes, polkas, and even a Congo line and the chicken dance. The Festhalle is setup with rows of long tables, we quickly got to know the other people at our table - everyone was there for a good time. We partook in the friendly Gemütlichkeit atmosphere, ate, drank and danced - it was a wonderful way for us to spend our last Friday night in the area.
This year, Oktoberfest is on weekends only from Sept. 7 through Sept 21, 2017 and then reopens daily beginning Sept. 28 and continues through Oct. 29, 2017.
