Mandeville La: Oktoberfest at the Mandeville Trailhead, Oct 16 & 17

I pass Mandeville City Hall almost daily. They have an electronic message board with important messages or upcoming events posted. This week sign showed Oktoberfest- Mandeville Trailhead. I've been living in Mandeville for over 15 yrs, and have lived nearby my entire life. I've never heard of an Oktoberfest Celebration in Mandeville! I looked into it today. It looks like a very interesting event! Lots of good causes will be supported. Mandeville has another fun event for locals. I hope it is the first year of a long standing event.

I live fairly close to the Trailhead. Many times I can hear the music from the bands at the Trailhead. I checked the lineup. If I hadn't have know about this event, I would have certainly wondered what was going on- Yodeling and Polka music!
