"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." These wise words from Benjamin Franklin ring as true today as they did during colonial times. On September 14, the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce along with Heidelberg Distributing are hosting Almost Oktoberfest, an all-day party at SOMO Park (south of Monroe, just east of Main St.) in downtown Sylvania in the spirit of the traditional German Oktoberfest celebration. The event will feature unique tastings from micro-breweries across the country—Great Lakes Oktoberfest, Brooklyn Oktoberfest, Sierra Nevada Tumbler Brown Ale and Angry Orchard Hard Cider are just a few of the selections available for patrons. The party will also have live music by The Wheeler Brothers, an Austin, Texas quintet who combine rock, folk, Americana and blues to create their root-sy sound.
4pm. $10. SOMO Park, Main Street, Downtown Sylvania. 419-882-2135. sylvaniachamber.org/AlmostOktoberfest.aspx
