WHEATLAND — Oktoberfest was a cool and crisp affair last Thursday with a Wyoming breeze that chilled your bones. There were still those who braved the brisk temperatures to enjoy the festivities.
Rolling Hills Bank and Trust joined First State Bank and Platte Valley Bank as sponsors for the free dinner including hot dog or brat, chips, and all the fixings. Having three different food stations really reduced the time waiting in line and the beer tent kept things moving as well.
Platte County Public Health had several activities in front of their offices with a pumpkin toss for the little ones, props for fun selfies, an enclosed nursing station for mothers, and you could even get your flu shot right there on the spot by registered nurse Samantha Whitney.
Impact Church always puts on a good carnival in the Frontier Furniture parking lot, but this year they mixed it up by having an Old-Time Western theme complete with rustic storefronts, an outhouse toss game and old-west costumes. Was cotton candy really around back then?
