ASHLAND —
An authentic German-style buffet loaded with kraut and sausages will be the centerpiece of of Ashland’s third-annual Oktoberfest celebration at the Chimney Corner Café at 1624 Carter Ave.
“It’s a good time,” said Danny Craig, Ashland Main Street executive director. “What we’re offering is high quality ... quality food, quality music. There’s just something sweet in the air at this time of year and Oktoberfest exemplifies that.”
Craig said he and musical partner Angy Hall will perform at 6 p.m., and guests will also have a chance to enjoy a presentation by members of the International Folklanders.
Chimney Corner owner Chef Paul Runnels said the celebration will be “from noon until we decide to quit playing” Saturday evening, with lunch and dinner buffets, live music and dancing.
“We will have a German-style buffet with bratwurst, sausages, fried potatoes and whipped potatoes, green beans, fried apples and some kind of rolls, of course,” the chef said, adding he will prepare carrot cake for dessert. The all-you-can-eat meal will cost $9.95.
Runnels, who co-sponsors Oktoberfest with Ashland Main Street, said he is encouraging people to enjoy themselves at the restaurant throughout the day.
“We will have ball games on television all afternoon,” he said.
