Carolyn from St. Mary’s previews the parish’s Oktoberfest, scheduled for October 9–11 in downtown Alton. She explains how the festival celebrates St. Mary’s German heritage while raising funds for its church, preschool-through-eighth-grade school and community outreach work.
The Our Daily Show conversation covers the Friday 5K and fun run, live music, Saturday’s ceremonial keg tapping, German and American food, children’s activities and the planned appearance of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Sunday’s schedule includes Mass in the Grass, festival activities, St. Louis Express and the closing of the silent auction and basket raffle.
Carolyn also discusses the $10,000 sweepstakes, the work of parish volunteers and St. Mary’s history in Alton dating to 1858.
