Hello Leah, Of course the best event at Mt. Angel for us Donauschwaben is our conference! However, if your escort would rather enjoy the towns festivities, there is much to do and see at Mt. Angel's Octoberfest besides the Beer Halls: Thursday: http://www.mtangel.org/ofestfiles/thursday.html Friday: http://www.mtangel.org/ofestfiles/friday.html Saturday: http://www.mtangel.org/ofestfiles/saturday.html Sunday: http://www.mtangel.org/ofestfiles/sunday.html Hope you can join us! Rosina www.hrastovac.net Rosina - Tell me a little about what goes on at Mt. Angel. I have lived here for years and never knew that there was anything more to Octoberfest then drinking - shame on me. I have just found that my relatives were part of the danube-schwabe and want to learn more. Thanks Leah Ott
