Oktoberfest brings larger turnout than last year

More beer-drinking and schnitzel-eating Octoberfest goers made their way to Vermillion over the weekend than last year, according to city officials.

“We’ve had about 300 people, but it’s hard to tell because they come and go,” said Tim Bellis, the tourism and marketing coordinator for Vermillion.

The event consisted of food, beer, entertainment and vendors, among other things.

In order to organize the event, Bellis had help from many others.

“It was a group effort,” he said.

Kamden Dibley, the director of the German Club at Vermillion High School, was one out of many people who helped put together this year’s Octoberfest. With her students, she brought German culture to downtown Vermillion for this event.

Dibley encourages students in his German classes to experience the German culture. Students who participated in Oktoberfest were there to bring the cultural aspect, and also to fundraise for their upcoming trip to Germany.

Nick Svendsen, a Vermillion High School senior, said he enjoyed the event.

“It is fun to get involved in the culture,” he said. “It’s a good way to fundraise for our trip to Germany.”

Students who weren’t part of Dibley’s German classes also participated in the event. There was a band of students who played music for the event. Some students dressed for the part by wearing lederhosen.

Vermillion High School senior Logan Wadley was part of the band that played for the event. He said he enjoyed dressing up for the night.

“We’re already being silly by playing Oktoberfest music, so why not just go all out and go crazy with all of these costumes,” Wadley said.
