A sobering good time Oksoberfest

It's fall and just about every community has some sort of festival to celebrate.

In Minster they celebrate Oktoberfest with plenty of polka music and German beer....but that's not for everyone.

At Faurot park in Lima Sunday they were celebrating Oksoberfest, not Oktoberfest. It's sort of a play on words emphasizing the word "sober" as in "not drunk".

Activities include live music on the stage, face painting for the kids and bingo for adults.

Oksoberfest chair Wanda Stokely says they just wanted to do something fun and safe for the community.

This was the third year for Oksoberfest at Faurot park.
