The choir took part in the Oktoberfest activities at Madison’s Turner Hall on Saturday October 26, 2013. The keg was tapped at 1:00 by the Burgermeister Dick Blatter. Music was provided by Jerry Stueber and The Music Vendors – we sang at around 4:00 during the break between the bands.
Other highlights include Ralph Clasen’s cooking demonstration and the supervised open gym for the younger guests. Check out the pictures below:
