Well,  just got back from Oregon.  I attend my first Mt Angel Oktoberfest. My family heritage is German. The weather was beautiful and the event was well attended. 

Beer, Saurerkraut and Bratwurst were all on the menu.  People dressed the part and entertainment was included in our adventure.

 The centerpiece in the above photo was beautifully decorated with hops and apples.

The picture I took below includes a pub called Frank-N-Steins.  Many people wandering the streets with beer steins attached to belt loops.
