Colorado Review

I was remiss in my earlier list of state-wide Oktoberfest celebrations. I neglected to mention one that’s in my backyard:

Glenwood Springs
Saturday, September 29, 2007
11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Centennial Park, 9th and Grand Avenue.
Beginning at noon, Soul Feel, with its “funky roots rock and a twist of Delta blues” takes center stage. Entertainment turns to more traditional Oktoberfest music with Alpine Echo at 3 p.m. Alpine Echo will entertain the crowd with traditional German polka tunes with John Pataky of Rosi’s Bavarian Restaurant as the accordion player. During Alpine Echo’s breaks, D’Miesbacher Oimtaler, a Bavarian club dedicated to the preservation of the Bavarian culture will perform traditional Schuhplattler dances and folk dances. Audience participation is encouraged. Erdinger Oktoberfest-Weizen, and Veltins Pilsener will be available on tap along with Woody Creek wine.
