\"octoberfest-2011\"<\/p>\n

Lot 39 Waterfront Park was transformed into a little bit of\u00a0Germany on October 15 as Piscataway Hills residents celebrated Oktoberfest with bratwurst, potato\u00a0pancakes, German beer, and lots and lots of desserts.<\/p>\n

Newly inaugurated Piscataway Hills President Gwynn Roberson continued her previous role as head chef of the annual event, for which the dozens of attendees throughout the afternoon were extremely grateful. In addition to the traditional bratwursts\u00a0from Baltimore, this year\u2019s\u00a0fare included homemade red applesauce, soft pretzels, German potato salad, pulled pork and red cabbage, and chicken and sauerkraut. Bierocks made with ground turkey were served for the non-pork and healthier eaters.<\/p>\n

Although the weather was warm and sunny, any chill would have been warded off by a blazing bonfire\u00a0kindled by PHCA Board Member Neil Ayers. Piscataway Creek also sparkled in the bright fall sunlight, inviting picnickers to stroll along the water and enjoy the views and the abundant wildlife.<\/p>\n

Other activities included volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, tetherball, and all the other games and balls from Treasurer Don\u00a0Benedict\u2019s garage. One activity fromprevious years that fell victim to technology was the Redskins game on TV, as it was considered doubtful that a digital broadcast could be picked up reliably. So the PHCA Board voted to celebrate Oktoberfest on a Saturday and allow people to watch the\u00a0Redskins lose on Sunday in the comfort of their own homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As always, the success of this event was due to the many neighborhood volunteers who helped set up, serve the food, clean up, and purchase supplies. And, of course, to everyone who brought desserts and other food to share. To which everyone can say,\u201cEins, zwei, gesoffen!\u201d\u00a0(One, two, drink!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
