Ocktoberfest was all it should be and more last Saturday at the Legion.
Fabulous food prepared by the very talented duo Lori and Wayne, served up by a team of handsomely attired smiling volunteers was delicious. Skinny Jimmy and his band played great music all night keeping the dance floor packed with Legion members and guests showing off their moves. Thank you to all who made this evening a great one.
