Fun at last year's Oktoberfest!
Frau Kemmling is hosting the 4th annual Oktoberfest at the Bigham Knoll Campus September 24th, 2011. Opening ceremonies start at noon with an official keg tapping that leads into a non-stop schedule that offers something for everyone! As in years past, thousands will celebrate with authentic German food, three beer gardens & Black Forest themed activities for the kids.
Traditional Oom-pah Bands will play throughout the day starting with Michele & Her Oktoberfest Orchestra shortly after noon and continuing with The Sauerkrauts, DJ Rhine-lander & the Frankie Hernandez Band. Enjoy the Oom-pah music, show off your yodeling skills & join the crowd partaking in polka lessons.
Wander through the Bigham Knoll campus and shop for Lederhosen or a new Dirndl. Take part in the Black Forest Cake competition or if

you’re feeling more like a spectator, sit back and enjoy watching culinary demonstrations of “The Three S’s of German Cuisine; Spaetzle, Schnitzel & Sauerkraut.”
Take a break from the frivolity by hopping on a bus tour of Jacksonville to explore the various sites of Jacksonville’s brewing history throughout the day, benefiting the Jacksonville Heritage Society.
