One thing that definitely comes to mind when October rolls around is Oktoberfest. It seems that almost every community, organization, and restaurant gets involved in this seasonal celebration.
Happy to have an excuse to visit Harrison again, Mike and I headed over there to check out their Micro Brew Oktoberfest celebration. This trip was also our last Harley ride of the season. Since Harrison is such a small town, it was easy to find the city park where the "party" was being held.
For ten dollars, you got an awesome collectors beer glass and four drink tickets. We sampled specialty beers from several local breweries There was a food concession with all proceeds supporting the local elementary school. Volunteers served up delicious food with a friendly smile and conversation. There was live music and several events for the kids. The sense of community was everywhere.
We felt like we had traveled back in time. It just didn't feel like the hustle bustle world of 2012. It felt like a much simpler time. Thinking back, I guess that it wasn't the time as much as it was the place...Harrison, Idaho, where life just seems a whole lot simpler.
