Dollar Days: Oktoberfest fun continues
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
While Oktoberfest in Germany ended Oct. 7, here in the good ol’ US of A, we are still celebrating beer and brats.
From 2-10 p.m. Saturday, head out to the Golf Club at Wescott Plantation in Summerville for the Summerville Rotary Oktoberfest.
This family-friendly event will include a DJ during the day, live music from the Hans Schmidt Band in the evening, a brat-eating contest and, of course, beer. There also will be hamburgers, barbecue and waffles on a stick.
For the kids, there will be jump castles, face-painting and a magic show.
Costumes are encouraged.
The entry cost is $5, and food and beverages will be available for purchase. Proceeds from the event go to numerous charities and educational programs, including the Summerville Miracle League, Wounded Warrior Project, clean water projects and scholarships for Fort Dorchester High School, Trident Technical College and Charleston Southern University.

Food Truck Rodeo
On Sunday, the young professional group the Red Shoe Society is putting on its inaugural Food Truck Rodeo.
From noon-4 p.m., enjoy food from Foodie Truck, Taco Boy, Refuelers and Outta My Huevos. Live music and cold beer also will be on hand.

Yappy Hour
It’s the last Yappy Hour of the season, so I suggest you head out to James Island County Park 4-8 Thursday to enjoy it. Pick up your pooch and enjoy live music from local band Old You, beverages and a bit of mingling.
Admission is free with the $1 park admission. Beverages will be available for purchase.
