Handcrafted holiday decorations, gifts, candles, jewelry, and a bake sale are just a sampling of what visitors will find at Oktoberfest at Tri-Rivers Career Center on Saturday, October 12, 2013 from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
“Oktoberfest aims at providing a fun time for all ages and interests. We want the entire family to be able to come to Oktoberfest and enjoy themselves,” states Chris Field, Marion Evening Lions Club President. Although the main focus is a high quality craft show, there is also baked goods provided by the Marion Senior Center and food provided by Tri-Rivers Career Center.
Crafter products this year will feature wreaths, hardwood home accessories, natural fiber weavings, and country crafts, as well as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations. In addition, other booths will feature herb and grapevine items, musical plaques, sports themed gifts, stuffed animals, dolls, and fine scented candles.
“We believe that there is a need for good, clean fun and we want to provide a family-oriented activity,” states Maggie Berry, event chair. “There will be something for everyone at Oktoberfest, 2013.
“To assure a quality show, we try to avoid duplicates as much as possible. Our show has developed the reputation of being a quality show and we make sure to keep it that way.”
All proceeds from this event will stay in Marion and provide for the sight needs of its citizens.
