The event, in its 11th year, will begin at 3 p.m. at St. Paul's Catholic Church.
German vibes and a good time will be experienced Saturday as St. Paul's Catholic Church hosts its annual Oktoberfest event.
The event, in its 11th year, will begin at 3 p.m. at St. Paul's Catholic Church, 202 East Washington St., Greencastle, and last until 10 p.m. and feature plenty of food, drink and activities for families.
Tom Helmer, parishioner of St. Paul's Catholic Church, told GIANT fm and The Putnam County Post the event is open to everyone in the county, regardless of religious affiliation.
"We are asking everyone from the community to come. It is a great event. You don't have to be a parishioner or Catholic to come. We love the event. It is a great event for fellowship to meet people and have nice drinks and food. I enjoy meeting and seeing people and having a good time," Helmer said.
One main selling point of the event is low food prices, which have not increased since the beginning.
"The prices have stayed the same, and we are trying to keep it that way. With the help of Myer's, we are able to keep the prices down," Helmer said.
The food includes ribeye sandwiches, brats, burgers and more, as well as craft and domestic beer and wine. Outdoor activities include live music, a bounce house, raffle drawings, games of chance, inflatables, bingo, a number wheel, blackjack and pull tabs.
Discounted food, drink and game tickets are available for purchase. Proceeds of Oktoberfest are spent throughout the community, including donations to Beyond Homeless and are spent on youth activities within the parish.
