Barrel of Fun!

By October 7, 2024No Comments

“Willkommen zum Oktoberfest!” is what the staff of St. Mary’s Home cheered as Residents were escorted into our auditorium. The auditorium was transformed into a Bavarian biergarten, complete with fun glasses and props that got everyone in the festive mood.

Residents were greeted by the charming music played on accordion and piano by Arkady Bodner of The Internationals! Once folks were seated, Bodner strolled between the tables and throughout the auditorium, playing both familiar tunes and traditional German folk music. A crowd favorite, “Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music, had everyone swaying and singing along.

Residents cheered “Prost!” as they sampled traditional Bavarian beer, pretzels and cheese, and schweine in einer decke [pigs in a blanket]! As the Germans say, “Eins, zwei, drei—trinken!” (One, two, three, drink!)

Die Party war wunderbar! (The party was wonderful!)
