The Courthouse Square in Bryan was busy on Saturday, with the breeze and cooler temperatures showing that fall came just in time for the Bryan Oktoberfest.
Luckily, the Oktoberfest started at 2 p.m., after rain was spottily visiting Williams County throughout the morning.

There were kids’ activities where little ones could decorate pumpkins and play traditional German games while waiting for the Toledo Holzhacker Baum to demonstrate traditional German dancing.
The Toledo Holzhacker Baum had members of all ages and did a wonderful job at highlighting the importance of keeping cultural traditions alive.

Polka music was played by the Eric Neubauer Ensemble and Die Dorfmusikanten, and there were two masskrugstemmen contests at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., with the vendors open until 9:30 p.m. Gates closed at 10 p.m., and fun was had by all of those that attended.
