Oktoberfest at the RiverCenter

Woo hoo!

Remember some time ago, I wrote about the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts' Ambassadors Network?

The first event was a wine tasting and it was very successful. I'm a tee-totaler, but I tried several of the wines. I had a great time, seeing lots and lots of my friends. And meeting new ones, too.

The second event is next Saturday from 2-6 p.m. It's Oktoberfest at the RiverCenter with a beer tasting.

There will be 20 beers from around the world, along with three Reislings.

It's $35, and that includes food samples from local restaurants and traditional German music by Pete and Mike. These two guys can be seen on a regular basis at the Bavarian House.

Proceeds benefit the programs that support the RiverCenter and its outreach programs like ArtsReach. ArtsReach allows underserved populations to see shows that they would normally not be able to see. Other programs include master classes, pre-performance lectures and matinees for schoolchildren.

It's limited to 400 tickets, so you'd better order your tickets soon.

The last thing the e-mail I got from the RiverCenter said that you have to be 21 or older. Duh!

Tickets are available only at the RiverCenter box office and no tickets will be sold at the door.

Call 706-256-3612.
