European Specialty

Sunny skies prevailed for the drive into the Alberni Valley. Members checked into the hotel in the late afternoon and soon where headed for an authentic German Meal. Schnitzels and Beer graced the table. After all were feed, a short drive back to park the cars for the evening, then all were seen walking, yes walking to the hall. The hall was brightly decorated in "German" decor. Our reserved table waited. Members and friends soon filled the seats and the evening began. Costumes were noticed throughout the hall. The music soon had all dancing. German food was available for those who needed it. There was entertainment throughout the evening, even some including the attendees. By midnight, we all were feeling the effects of nonstop dancing and the refreshments. Then all walked back to the hotel, some in single file. Sunday morning and the fog and clouds had arrived. Large breakfast was the order of the morning. Then the return ride to the east coast. To quote a new member that attended: "The Oktoberfest evening with the dancing and the incomparable entertainment (we'll never forget the fry pan gang!) was great. We can understand why you go often. It worked out just the way we expected, only better, as you all made us feel as if we were old friends"
