Octoberfest (Octoberfeast)

Little more bitter has nice after taste be great paring with brats
Great anytime beer.
Definite spices and pumpkin flavor not bad with chocolate
Dundee Oktoberfest | Dundee Beer
Little dark and bitter. Went well with dark chocolate candy
Rieslings
We're not much on sweet wines but when fall hits we do enjoy the a few Rieslings and ice wines.
Schmitt Söhne GmbH Weinkellerei settled in the small village of Longuich, located along the Mosel River in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine region.
If your new to Rieslings this sweet wine should give you a nice beginning to your venture.
We haven't tried the Ice Wine yet but have had the majority of their wines including the port. We would recommend the Mancini's Levee Red. This wine is a nice cab and goes great with pastas or used in sauce and stews.
Many of the Cannon River wines can be found at the local stores.

World’s Most Dangerous Polka Band
In 1909, at the corner of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis, young Albert stood over a small copper kettle filled with the best ingredients he knew. As his new confection boiled over the open flame, Albert knew that if this batch of candy wasn’t absolutely perfect he would be trying again. As a newcomer to America at the turn of the twentieth century, the ambitious Tripoli native along with his new Swedish wife, fair and beautiful Helen Victoria, tirelessly supplied their growing demand for fine confections.
Again and again, a new recipe would be perfected. Passing from one generation to the next, Albert’s perseverance and optimism would see the family candy makers through bankruptcy in 1930, as a result of the great depression and through a devastating and fiery explosion that destroyed their business in 1965.

New National Cemeteries
The Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act of 1999 requires VA to establish six additional national cemeteries in areas of the United States in which the need for burial space is greatest. Those areas are: Atlanta, Georgia; Detroit, Michigan; Miami, Florida; Sacramento, California; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Fort Sill National Cemetery near Oklahoma City opened for interments in 2001, the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies near Pittsburgh, Pa. and the Great Lakes National Cemetery near Detroit opened in 2005, the Georgia National Cemetery, and the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery opened in 2006, the South Florida National Cemetery near Miami, opened in 2007.
The National Cemetery Act of 2003 authorizes VA to establish new national cemeteries to serve veterans in the areas of Bakersfield, Calif.; Birmingham, Ala.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Sarasota County, Fla.; southeastern Pennsylvania; and Columbia-Greenville, S.C. All six areas have veteran populations exceeding 170,000, which is the threshold VA has established for new national cemeteries. Ft. Jackson, Jacksonville, Sarasota, Alabama and Bakersfield National Cemeteries opened for interments in 2009.
