2025 Oktoberfest - A Wonderful Time of Fellowship!


Email from John M:


Hello all,

 

Just a quick note to thank all you good men for coming out Sunday for the Oktoberfest!  The weather turned out to be great, and the fellowship even better!  And the Oktoberfest meal wasn’t too bad either! 

 

Thank you to Doug and Shellie L for hosting us at their wonderful home!  The setting was conducive for grilling brats and quaffing ales!  And . . . we honored Doug this year with the special Usinger’s Red grilling apron! 

 

We are glad our pastor Fr. Ken joined us!  Our meal was blessed! 

 

And special thanks to the following gents for their great efforts

  • Grillmeister Ralph M

  • Table Wrangler and Firemeister Tony B

  • Bankmeister Mike S 

 

And a callout of Lizzie S for helping promote the event – thank you, Lizzie!

 

I’ve included a link to the full album of photos. 

 

See you next year! 

Best,
