Alpensterne is one of the most unique and musically diversified groups performing today. Jim Strehlke sticks an Alpenhorn out to the crowd. The Smith sisters (Sarah & Emily) have been going to Oktoberfest for three years. They celebrated with friends Jacob Cooper and Sam Hajjali. Kathy Balzart and Steve Billmeier sit for a caricature artist, a busy new addition to Schell’s Oktoberfest this year! The crowd is fully packed, dancing at Schell’s Brewery. A smoke machine fills the dance floor with spooky Oktoberfest fog! Pat Melhop and Jodee Haala hold the keg of champions as they won the men’s and womens’ division. A group of friends cheer to good times. Hammerschlagen, Bean bags and caricatures were available for those looking to get into games and activities. The Schell’s Beer wagon makes its way in front of the Brewery where it will stay for the rest of the day. It is admired and photographed by many. “Zicke, zacke, zicke, zacke, hoi hoi hoi” The crowd shouted this German chat as they lifted their beers high in the air! Several lines are packed with people as Schell’s Oktoberfest gets underway. For the last big day of New Ulm Oktoberfest, thousands turned out to participate!
