Ein prosit, ein prosit!

There was no shortage of revellers ready and willing to join in the fun to celebrate Oktoberfest as members of Fraser Coast Hervey Bay Combined Probus Club gathered at the home of Susan Lilley and Horst Kapahnkeon on Friday 22 October 2021.

Lederhosen and dirndls were the outfits of choice, and the best-dressed prizes were awarded to Jim Wonisch and Gay Ignatengo.

Five beer halls kindly donated by Ingenia Lifestyle provided just the right amount of shade and a gentle breeze kept conditions pleasant.

Authentic German food was served for lunch followed by a most delicious dessert of black forest cake made by Karen Brown, plus apple strudel.

MC Susan had everyone up and raising their glasses to toast good times, good mates and good beer – only trouble was they had to sing it in German!

The Club was so lucky to have its very own musician, Audrey Doyle, play her accordion to accompany everyone who did the Chicken Dance.

Audrey also played a few other well-known tunes, which added to the atmosphere.

Big thanks to Susan and Karen for organising a celebration of all things German, and good Fun, Friendship and Fellowship was had by all.
