RUMFORD — Oktoberfest will be held Saturday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be lots of vendors with a wide variety of goods. Tables filled with crafts, baked goods, herbs, knits and raffles will fill the Hope Association building on Lincoln Avenue, formerly the Armory. There will also be tables of children's games and activities as well as the Rotary's used book sale. There will be a children's book room again this year.
At last year's Oktoberfest Kathy Gracetta sold a variety of crafts. She'll be back again this year.
Rotary Interact will be on hand to serve a pancake breakfast from 8 to 10 a.m. and a pizza lunch. Paul Jones' famous Silver Lake Apple Crisp will also be available again this year. Other vendors will also have food for sale. Hope Association will sell raffle tickets on several items that will be on display.
Children's games with prizes for all include ring toss, the popular racehorse wheel and bean bag toss.
There is no admission to Oktoberfest. The day benefits the Hope Association and Rumford Area Rotary's charities and scholarships.
