We had a beautiful day on Saturday to get out and participate in Oktoberfest activities. The farmer's market was open at the Festhalle Plz, but there was German food, drink and music. The Cullman County Museum was open and free, and we enjoyed checking it out, plus the quilt display upstairs. We walked through the Classic Car show but missed the doggie parade. A quick stop by the Duchess Bakery for a treat, and perusing the items at A Touch of German.
Back near the house, the Garrison families were making Sorghum Syrup -- we are so glad they let us watch, and they had the Honey Barn open so we stopped in there as well.
For dinner, we dined at St. John's Evangelical Presbyterian church for a traditional German meal, my first taste of pickled cabbage! The apple cake was delicious!! We stopped by the sanctuary and sang along with a group performing there, such songs as "Turn your radio on" and "Unclouded Day".
Thanks Wendi for coming to visit and enjoying Oktoberfest right along with us!! Everyone can check out pictures on Facebook.
Sweet Home Alabama! But we will always have a Texas connection with our son and his wife living in Fort Worth area and our daughter/hubby/grandkids in ministry at the Fort Hood Soldier's Hospitality House.
