Many thanks to all our volunteers that made the Oktoberfest/

Founders Day on Main Street last Saturday a great success ! The Annual Tractor Parade was terrific with old and young both driving - Congratulations to Grand Marshal Bill Brey!

The music was wonderful at both ends of town, the Classic cars & trucks were fun (great Indian motorcycle in the back of a truck) and food/beverages and cotton candy were tasty. I never did get a chance to bid on a pie, but I am sure they all were delicious. Thank you to the bakers for participating too!
