The first news story about this year's Germantown Oktoberfest was published last Wednesday. Along with coverage about the activities planned for the festival - including a "Hans and Heidi" costume contest, a Futsal tournament, and, of course, fireworks - the article also included several quotes from G&G Member Katie Skinker (Katie is one of the chapter's representatives on the Oktoberfest Committee). Katie spoke to the reporter about the plans for the beer tent, including plans for a portion of the proceeds to be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The festival took place on Saturday, Oktober 3rd (photos to follow in a later post) and the first "day of the event" article from the Gazette appeared online today. Both the beer tent and Paint-a-Pumpkin booth were mentioned (I think I remember seeing the red, white and blue pumpkin the reporter mentioned) and the Gaithersburg/Germantown Jaycees were mentioned by name. Also appearing in that article were several quotes from Sarah Knetzer who also mentioned our plans to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
(Speaking of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: There is still time to support G&G's team, The Tumorators, in the society's Light the Night walk.)
