Out of season but lots of fun just
the same, SWCC will celebrate OKTOBERFEST, Saturday, April 25, at
Crab Orchard Museum.
Beginning at 6:30 p.m. guests will
be feted to a German buffet catered by Your Grate Escape. The menu
will include Beef Goulash, Pierogies with Sauerkraut and Mushrooms,
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, German Potato Salad, Pickled Beet Salad,
Black Forest Cake and Apple Custard. A beverage bar will provide
traditional German wine and beer and soft drinks.
Following the buffet, The Sauerkraut Band, of Mountain Lake fame,
will provide traditional German “ohm pah” music to recreate the
lively experience normally found in the beer halls and tent
throughout Southern Germany. The band uses a unique blend of the
traditional trachten (clothing) and authentic musical
interpretations to provide high energy performances and audience
participation. The music and dance will feature the Polka, Waltz,
Reinlander, Schottisch and Landler. Dance demonstrations by the
musicians and dancers will encourage guest participation.
The cost of the OKTOBERFEST is $25 per person, which includes
three complimentary beverages. Reservations must be made in advance
