Oktoberfest a great day out

Guests try their skills at barrel throwing.

About 1500 guests donned their dirndls and lederhosen for a German celebration this month when Terrella Brewing and German Bakehouse joined forces for the biggest Oktoberfest event to date at the North Arm venue.

Terrella Brewing event manager Liv said the event was six months in the planning and they had no idea what the public response would be.

But with a German band, good beer, plenty of German sausages and pretzels and some fun activities such as barrel throwing, it was hailed a great success and will definitely be on the calendar again next year.
