Round and Round You Go

That Poor De-Horned Bulls Couldn't Buck this Cowgirl!

I wanted to join in, but they prefer you actually have talent

Sadly, the picture of me with a butterfly on my face didn't turn out

OK folks I have blogged about it and you have seen the pictures. I can say there were plenty of vendors, great food and rides for the young or young at heart! So, no excuses next year you will attend the Oktoberfest in Walhalla!

The 31st Annual Oktoberfest in Walhalla SC

October 16,17, 18th 2009

It has been almost 2 years since i had the extreme pleasure of attending Oktoberfest in Walhalla. It is a great event for the entire family. Don't think it is just Brats and Beer!

Each year since 1979, Walhalla has been hosting this event. It takes place at the Sertoma Field on Highway 183. There will be crafts, carnival rides for the young and the young at heart and of course, my favorite: FOOD! There will be wurst and kraut, strudel along with authentic German music and dancers.The last time I went one of the craft vendors was selling some great preserves and I bought a jar of Jalapeno Jelly. Sounds strange I know but try it on Townhouse crackers with cream cheese and you will be amazed.

The event kicks off Friday with the Opening ceremonies at 6PM followed by crafts, food and rides until 10PM when it is time for the Little German Band and Dancers.

Saturdays events start at 9AM and run all the way up to Midnite with Fireworks at 10PM. Some of the highlights of Saturdays's events is the Kinderhaus (Children's Art Center) from 1 to 5PM.

Sundays festivities start at Noon and run until 5PM. Plus the ad I saw said that there is a special on Sunday that Kids ride all day for $10! Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for children 3-10 years and FREE for kids under 3!
