    Kellie Watts — a resident who came out with her family to enjoy the festivities — spoke with 8News about how she feels towards the celebration and what people can expect.

    “I think it’s fun for everyone. Lots of good food to try, lots of nice people to meet, and just a really fun time. You can expect to hear some great music, see some traditional dancing. Our favorite, I think, is the beer stein-holding contests and a lot of good food,” Watts said.
