The Locust Valley Rotary Oktoberfest, which was first held in 1976, is back this year by popular demand. It will be held on Saturday, October 1, from 1 to 7 PM at Thomas Park in Locust Valley. Oktoberfest is fun for the entire family – food trucks, beer, children's activities, a German (oompah) band with dancers in the afternoon and DJ music into the evening. The modest $5 per adult entry fee will be waived for anyone who buys a ticket to the 50/50 raffle at the door. Raffle tickets also can be purchased in advance at $20 each or 6 for $100. Sponsorships and tee-signs are also available. If you or your club would like to support Oktoberfest, Locust Valley Rotary's major fundraising event for the year, please contact club treasurer Ed O'Neill ateonwealth@gmail.com.
