Visual Feast of Oktoberfest in Leavenworth

Although Polka music isn't on my top-ten most loved genres of music, played in the right setting, the music is transformed to almost-cool. The Oktoberfest featured several Polka bands (as well as current music). Paul and I had such a fabulous time! So much to see! Crazy hats, mixed with North Face fleece jackets and traditional German dress...sometimes it was difficult to focus on one think to look at! A couple stealing a kiss on the Polka dance floor


Whirling about to Polka music

This dear old gentleman was demonstrating a little German jig!
This is just an example of the astonishingly crazy hats people were wearing at this festival!

Paul and I took pictures in the impossibly cute downtown Leavenworth!




Accordion music never sounded so cool! This guy was phenomenal, so funny and a little self-deprecating!
The chandelier Paul and plan on having one day!
Sparkling rock candies! I couldn't resist taking a picture of the colors!
A beautifully lit church in downtown Leavenworth.
Maybe Paul will dress up as a knight, instead of "Wendell," his Canadian personality for Halloween!

Do they leave the Christmas lights up year-round? I've only been there in the winter.

Polka dancing...hm, weird. =)
