Third Annual BMS Oktoberfest is Oct. 14

DAYTON – The Blue Mountain Station will host its third annual Oktoberfest on Sat., Oct. 14 from 11 a.m – 5 p.m. on the station grounds, located at 700 Artisan WAy in Dayton. This year's offerings include some new contests and events.

As always, the Dayton Kiwanis will grill up their delicious, locally-sourced bratwurst for just $5. An additional $3 will buy a german potato salad and german cabbage side dish prepared by the BMS Co-op. Another $2 will buy a Warren Orchards apple strudel for dessert. Inside the market, visitors can purchase krautranza and homemade pretzels from Grassroot Gourmet Catering.

A couple of fun contests have been added to this year's agenda. Prizes will be offered to those who bring in the "coolest stein" and those dressed in the best Oktoberfest-related costume.

Strains of Oompah music will be heard throughout the food park and the fire pits will be set up in case of inclement weather. In addition to wares and foods available inside the co-op, vendors will be on hand outside, selling arts, crafts, and foods, taking advantage of the last outdoor event of the year.

The co-op has partnered with the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, Chief Spring's Fire and Irons Brew Pub, Laht Neppur Brewing Co., Quirk Brewing & Bombing Range Brewing Company, to have a selection of craft beers on hand. Over-21 attendees can try all eight of their beers for $15 ($12 for Co-op and/or Chamber members). Purchase tickets in advance at https://squareup.com/store/blue-mountain-station-co-op-market.
