Keeping with tradition, the Oktoberfest will focus on celebrating traditional music, native dress and a special Oktoberfest beer only available for a short time.  A carnival atmosphere pervades Bavaria’s biggest party and Chester’s Oktoberfest will not be outdone.  Authentic German foods including bratwurst, German potato salad, sauerkraut and smoked pork chops will be offered along with tasty apple strudel, delicious beehive cake and authentic plum cake.

 

The weekend long event will offer non-stop entertainment.  The Adler’s, a notable German Band will perform familiar German tunes and will be accompanied by spectacular dancers, bell ringers and water goblet musicians. Activities for the more energetic will include Pony Rides, Rock Climbing Wall, Obstacle Course, Super Slide, Sand Art, Spin Art and more.

 

Volunteers from area schools and organizations make the Oktoberfest function smoothly every year and this year will be no exception.  Community involvement and generous sponsors allow the Chester Lions Club to continue its contributions to numerous charities.  In previous years the net proceed from the Oktoberfest were donated to such organizations as Soldiers Angels, an organization that supports our service men and women and  the Lions Eye Research Foundations ophthalmic surgeons of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey specializing in glaucoma treatment.

 

With your support, the Chester Lions Club can continue its effort to help others.  Join us for a family fun day, you’ll enjoy yourself.  For further information contact Phil Savell at 908 879 6543. For directions please contact us at chesterlionsclub@gmail.com.
