7th Annual Village Oktoberfest! September 27, 2008 and Saturday 2 - 6 PM. An Oktoberfest celebration filled with flying bratwurst, lifted steins, Bavarian dance, music and plenty of beer to toast in the fall season. The event will include a variety of entertainment for the entire family, including performances by Joe Smiell and his 20-piece Bavarian band on the main stage. The Alpentanzer Schuhplattler Austrian Dance Troop as well as the Almenrauch Schuhplattler will be another lively addition to the entertainment line-up. The Village at Squaw Valley Oktoberfest also will provide plenty of interactive fun and prizes. Visitors can compete in the barrel-rolling race or try to earn the title of Tahoe’s best Stein Holder. Meanwhile, the Bratwurst Toss competition will test your meat throwing skills. Guests are encouraged to get into the spirit of the event by wearing traditional Lederhosen and Austrian clothing. Event attendees will find plenty of refreshments at the beir garten, where $10 includes a ½ liter stein plus one beer of choice (either Spaten Premium or Spaten Oktoberfest, Fraziskanner Hefeweizen, Samuel Adams Oktoberfest, Sudwerk Pilsner & Martzen or a non-alcoholic beer). Additional beer tickets are one for $5. Anyone who doesn’t want alcohol can enjoy the German beverage Clausthauler while kids can sip on a Sprecher Root Beer Soda Float. Guests also can savor traditional German bratwurst and sauerkraut, pulled pork sandwiches and a variety of other options served at the eight Village restaurants.
