OKTOBERFEST

Save the date, Saturday, Sept. 30, to visit the Rotary Club of Concord’s family-friendly, Bavarian-themed Oktoberfest at beautiful Verrill Farm in Concord. From 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. you’ll hear five live bands, sample food, ciders and craft beers, enter a pie-eating contest, outwit a magician, get your face painted, show off hula-hoop skills, jump in the bouncy house, shop craft vendors, visit community organization booths, and much more. Proceeds will benefit ShelterBox, a non-profit agency supplying emergency housing for victims of natural disasters and conflicts. Tickets $20 prior to the event, $25 at the door for age 21 and over.  $5 for under-21 and non-drinkers, children under 4 free. Info at concordrotaryoktoberfest.com
