On a sunny October afternoon, the Rotary Club of Antelope Valley hosted its 10th Annual Oktoberfest at Hacienda Lane Ranch in Palmdale. The newly formed Antelope Valley Rotary consists of the former Palmdale Rotary Club, the AV Sunrise Rotary Club and the Rosamond Rotary Club. Over 90 Rotarians, friends and guests attended the event and enjoyed the food, drink, music, fun, and raffles. Frances Lane once again graciously hosted the Oktoberfest at her beautiful ranch style home.
Entertainment was provided as usual by Anton Schnitzel and the Merry Makers. All the traditional polka songs and Oktoberfest music was enjoyed as well as requests from the audience. Food included roast pork loin, German potato salad, sauerkraut, red cabbage, bratwurst and of course German Chocolate Cake for dessert. Several German Beers were available as well as wine, soft drinks, water and coffee.
Barbara Frazier’s Lancaster High School Interact Club provided additional help by serving lunch, selling raffle tickets and distributing raffle baskets to the winning ticket holders. It was a great afternoon of food, drink and fun. The pictures tell the complete story.
