         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Saturday, September 24, 2011:  Mark and Paula ventured to Nisswa, Minnesota, where it was Oktoberfest at the American Legion Club.  A polka band prompted some to get up and have a good time dancing.  It is also obvious that we have a big-time Minnesota Vikings fan on the dance floor.
How could it be Oktoberfest without some beer?
Paula chose a schnitzel sandwich for lunch.
Mark liked the rib mit kraut (spare ribs with sauerkraut).  He graduated from high school in Marshfield, Wisconsin, where sauerkraut was a staple of life.  According to Mark, "It doesn't get any better than this!"
Nisswa was also having its annual fall festival.  While Paula was shopping, Mark was found at the local candy store.  He picked pumpkin and cinnamon ice cream as a dessert for lunch.
Fall displays were everywhere getting people into the fall spirit.
Even pets were dressed up for the occasion.
This man and his wife drove their British MG car to the festival.  It was made in England in 1950 and has a four cylinder engine.  The top speed is 60 miles per hour.  A great ride on a fall day.
Quote of the day: Nisswa is a fun place.  Mark < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
