THAT WAS FUN!

A jovial crowd of 1100 attended Rotary's Oktoberfest Sept. 29. Perfect weather! Great beer samples. Lots of kids for the activities. Lively bands and lively dancers. Yummy food from food trucks and Verrills. Great selection of auction items. Vendors of all sorts, from jewelry to caramels. Thanks to all who volunteered and thanks to all who came to have fun and support our new local chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace, an organization that builds bunk beds for kids who have no beds of their own.
