Now celebrating 40 years, KCAT TV & Radio did it again for this third-annual Oktoberfest. Hats off to all who volunteered, and attended showing support for our local Channel 15.

This event was supported by the attendees and a grant from the Town of Los Gatos. Well done.

The large eating tent filled up around 2pm, and revelers were treated to the “um, pa, pa” polka sounds provided by the German Guys and The Internationals.

Lederhosen and dirndls were everywhere.

Our perfect fall weather and the Los Gatos Morning Rotary volunteers helped make for quite an enjoyable day.

Afterwards, KCAT Executive Director Melissa Toren sent out an email blast saying the event was a success thanks to this voluntary labor force.

“You made life so easy for us by simply smiling and giving us the thumbs up that ‘you got this’ every time we came to check in,” she said.

In her post-mortem, Los Gatos Morning Rotary’s Ginger Taylor McDonald congratulated supporters.

“Oktoberfest was an ‘off the charts’ successful crowd pleaser,” she said. “KCAT’s team did an outstanding job. LGMR (Los Gatos Morning Rotary) volunteers were glad to be a part of the event and to lend a helping hand.”

We’re so fortunate we have so many dedicated individuals who can pitch in and help each other, aren’t we?
