Thank you for another Oktoberfest!

Our Oktoberfest Family and Office Staff would like to extend a warm thank you to all the sponsors, klub members, volunteers (including button/ticket sellers, bartending groups, grounds clean up, event chairpeople, Oktoberfest present/past royal family members and the Board of Directors) for another wonderful Oktoberfest!

We could not make La Crosse's premier fall festival happen without all of your support!
