MIDDLEBURGH - Middleburgh's popular Oktoberfest is coming up fast and there will be a new attraction this year.
Village Deputy Mayor Sheryl Adams spoke about plans for the Oktoberfest on Monday night.
The Oktoberfest event will be held on Saturday, October 11 after the annual Fall Festival parade, from noon to 5:30pm. It will be held on Baker Avenue at Bill Morton Park.
New this year will be a Stein Holding competition, Ms. Adams said. The steins are very big and will be filled with beer so "they're pretty heavy...It's for you guys who are strong."
She noted that Caleb Wiseman has joined the Oktoberfest committee and will be the emcee for the event, as well as the organizer and judge of the stein holding contest.
The Oktoberfest will be featuring four breweries, as well as food from High on the Hog and 10 Pin Catering. "There will be plenty to choose from," Ms. Adams said.
The musical groups Crossfire and None the Wiser will be performing at the pavilion.
There will be an area for children and games such as cornhole, bingo, and others in a separate area.
