Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest – Saturday, September 28, 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Come one, come all to one of St. Vincent de Paul Parish and School’s favorite events: Oktoberfest (formerly Fall Festival). Like last year we’ll have games galore (Pop-a-shot!, Snowboarder X!), our chili and pie contests, great music, bounce house for littles and even a large obstacle course for big kids, plus food and drink that will have you busting the button on your lederhosen. There is a rumor there might be a dunk tank. Come and find out! For more information click here.
