Oktoberfest Party Oct. 13

It's that time again.  Sure, traditional Oktoberfest actually occurs in September (What??), but that doesn't make any sense they don't call it Septemberfest.  Besides, we like to wait until it has a chance to cool down at least a little. 

So come on out, lederhosen optional.  We will kick things off at 6 with some steins, cold Oktoberfest beer, some traditional German fare of brats and sauerkraut and a great polka band to keep you entertained throughout the night.  Music starts at 7, but we won't be taking reservations so you will want to be there early.
