SeptOberfest...

Say what??? Well that is the name my town came up with to celebrate our German heritage and also the fall season it runs from the middle of September to the end of October so they put the two months together. This is the last weekend and I will be out of town so I decided to share some pictures of what it is all about. 
Under the bridge is our park and that is where the Pumpkin patch is and where most of the activities take place.


Every entrance into town...(4 of them) has a decorated scene like this.
 
 The big thing is the topiary contest and these are some of the entries this year...love the ladybug!
 Bumble Bee
 Puppy Dog
 The businesses and private houses also decorate, this is the private school in town, they are the Yellowjackets
 The bank display

State Farm Insurance

 More decorations under the bridge park.
 There are also pumpkin races where kids put wheels on pumpkins and have a derby
.
And of course you can get taken around town in style to see all the fun things on a horse and carriage ride.
Each weekend there are special events like the German parade, Polka music under the bridge, pumpkin carving contests, pet shows and much more. Just thought you might like to see a little of my little town at it's best.
