What a beautiful day we had for Oktoberfest! Sunny, warm and gorgeous blue skies all day long, children enjoying the rides and games, and best of all, the live reptile show! Wasn't "Sunshine," the big yellow python so humble and patient? Did you all ride the train and look inside that awesome fire truck? Did you get a magic trick pulled on you and pick your pumpkins for Halloween? The performance by the New Dominion Choraliers on the dock was really nice; we hope to have them back on July 4^th.  ‘Ill Angelic' put on a great show and the Continentals made the crowd polka around the dance floor. Let's not forget about the chicken dance show, the loudest, most energetic and happiest performance of all, by the kids of Montclair. 

Big thanks to all the volunteers who helped run the various stations, even during the cold evening hours. Next year we'll have Glühwein (German spicy boiled wine) to keep you warm. A special thanks to the funnel cake team who made such nice funnel cakes that the line was endless.  The bratwurst tasted really good, our chefs did an outstanding job.

Before you go on to enjoy some of the pictures taken, let me thank Armstrong Management for their efforts in organizing such a nice event. More pictures can be found on the website at http://www.montclairva.com/.
