Magtoctoberfest a success

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

What a great time on October 10, 2021 at Magtoberfest was so fun.  Thank you everyone who came and participated.  A special thank you to the committee and sponsors and everyone who came.  Here is a couple of photos, because it was so busy, which was great, not many photos.  Had a great time. The antique cars, food, beer garden, vendors and music just made the day.  Thank you again for shopping
