Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of attending the Oktoberfest at Shepherd of the Valley-Howland (our friend Jerry's mother, a resident at the long-term care facility, was honored as the festival queen). A great time was had by all - perhaps most of all the queen - and we listened to the music of the Del Sinchak Bank (my photo for the day and a group all the area old-timers like me will be familiar with). I also got a couple of shots of the queen - she loves her beer - at right.
