An estimated 75 Piscataway Hills residents and guests enjoyed a sunny fall day at the annual Oktoberfest at Lot 39 Waterfront Park on October 5.<\/p>\n

The food followed an appropriate German\u00a0theme, including traditional bratwurst and turkey-stuffed bierocks prepared by Gwynn Roberson, PHCA\u2019s immediate past president.<\/p>\n

Gwynn also made drunken chicken over noodles, applesauce, and chicken sausage with red peppers\u00a0and spinach. Diane Lishin helped with the food preparation, providing cheesy potatoes and baked beans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs usual, Gwynn Roberson took care of the neighborhood\u2014hats off to Gwynn,\u201d said PHCA Acting President Dave Lishin, while also crediting his wife\u2019s able assistance.<\/p>\n

The dessert table was overflowing with pineapple upside down cake, raspberry German chocolate cake, rum raisin cake, pumpkin cookies, and much, much more. Revelers also enjoyed a wide range of German and non-German beer and wine.<\/p>\n

At the height of the event, which ran from 2-6 p.m., all the Waterfront Park picnic tables were full, along\u00a0with numerous extra chairs. The new Waterfront Park playground again proved popular with the kids, who also enjoyed volleyball, badminton, and other games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Eva Mitter, who moved to her home on Piscataway\u00a0Drive from Tyson\u2019s Corner in the summer of 2012, was attending her second Piscataway Hills Oktoberfest. She said she had \u201cscoured the entire metro area\u201d to find a peaceful home in a natural setting. \u201cGetting up in the morning and looking at all the trees is simply amazing,\u201d she said while relaxing at one of the shady picnic tables.<\/p>\n

A first-time Oktoberfest guest, Bre Malone of Clarksburg, Md., was very impressed with Lot 39 Waterfront Park: \u201cI did not know you guys had all this water and the beautiful trees.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
