Celebrating our 50th Year, this Oktoberfest promises a day of fun for the entire family! The museum will be open to explore, and the grounds will be full of crafters and artists selling hand thrown pottery, candles, wreaths, holiday décor, pumpkins, woodcrafts, scented oils, bath bombs, handcrafted soaps made with natural and organic oils, handmade quilts, jewelry, and lots more! There will be games for the children and decorated pumpkins to buy!
Returning is Schmidt’s Restaurant from German Village, Columbus. They will offer Bahama Mammas, knockwurst, German bologna, German potato salad, kraut, sweet red cabbage, pork or chicken brats, and their famous jumbo cream puffs! If you have not had one, you do not know what you are missing! Heavenly! Returning, also, is Poppy’s Smokehouse Food Truck with their bbq ribs and pulled pork and pulled chicken. Layla’s Sweet Treats will once again offer premium hand-dipped ice cream in cups, waffle cones, milkshakes, and sundaes!! Joining us this year is The Fat Straw Co., offering Tiger, Taro, Peach, Dragon Fruit and Tropical milk teas, chai, lemonade, and strawberry matcha. Joining us, also, is Carter’s Chimney Cakes Food truck. A chimney cake is a traditional Hungarian dessert or Eastern European Street food. It is simply a sweet dough wrapped around a spit cooked over a rotisserie grill, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious toppings are then added such as Oreos, cinnamon sugar, coconut, and sprinkles. When stood up straight, the hot steam comes out from the top of the cake looking like a chimney. They can be made traditional cake style or as a cone filled with goodness. This is a traditional Oktoberfest food and one we are excited to offer our guests! A local favorite, Farmer’s Daughter will be offering their homemade specials and various vendors will be offering cookies, French macarons, breads, kettle corn, and other delights! No Oktoberfest is complete without beer – and we will have a beer trailer offering a variety of your favorites! Delicious food, live entertainment, and an admission price of only $3.00 – what could be better? Mark your calendar and don’t miss this day of fun for the whole family! Oktoberfest is the largest fundraiser for the Historical Society. The Champaign County Historical Society hosted a Picnic on the Lawn on August 28th. Attendees enjoyed summer breezes, live music, each other's company and a Sunday afternoon lunch of chicken salad on a croissant, baked beans, cookies, iced tea and lemonade catered by In Good Taste Catering. Pictures from the event are below. Click here to see our upcoming events!
The menu includes an assortment of appetizers, wonderful burgers, tasty sandwiches and healthy crisp salads. Entrees include steak, chicken, seafood, pork, and pasta served with your choice of sides. For an added treat, top off your meal with the daily dessert, creme brulee or a hot fudge sundae with Hemisphere coffee!
Whether you want a quick lunch, an afternoon milkshake,a relaxing dinner or just a glass of wine at the end of the day, all purchases will benefit the expansion of the Champaign County Historical Museum. We need your support and "dining out" is always fun- see you Oct. 18 at MIXX165!
in every country, but especially India, where he felt most comfortable with the people. Once, when walking the streets of China (town not remembered), Chomp ran into someone from the US, whom he knew, which was not surprising to his friends.
Chomp has visited, lived in and/or worked in each of the fifty, US states. His time in Wyoming, as a ranch hand, was especially fun and memorable. Chomp retired, following 27 years as a field agent for Larimer and Larimer, Attorneys at Law, Columbus, OH, where he continued his travels and found the Appalachian residents especially interesting. Chomp relays his storytelling with humor and grit and has been known to embellish a few of the stories “here and there.” Please join us August 21 @ 2 p.m., at the Champaign County Historical Society, 809 E. Lawn Ave., Urbana, as Chomp, his friends, and family relive his amazing life. |
