Big Crowd Expected for Octoberfest

It will be a gorgeous weekend for celebration.

Besides a few traffic headaches from nearby construction, event organizers are expecting many people to come to the Saturday event, which will go from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. all around Scott Park.

There will be games for the kids, craft vendors, hayrides and plenty of food.

“We’re looking forward to people coming out and having a good time with their family one more time before the weather starts turning ugly,” said , who organizes the festival. “It’s nice to see all the people come out. It’s a very big family event because there’s something for everyone.”

The Rhythm Kings, Mansfield Five and Vanessa Campagna will be the musical performers, and there will also be German dancers at 1 p.m. in the amphitheater. The craft show at the top of the park will have 30 vendors.

“It’s actually bigger this year than any year before,” Meyers said. “Every year we try to add more to it.”
