Jim and Karen Zalewski toast as musicians with M+J Volksmusik perform at the Senior Services of Alexandria Oktoberfest Oct. 8 at Port City Brewing Company.
The lederhosen and traditional dirndls were on display as Senior Services of Alexandria celebrated with its traditional Oktoberfest fundraiser Oct. 8 at Port City Brewing Company.
“We had over 150 guests and more sponsors than ever before,” said SSA executive director Mary Lee Anderson. “This was the 14th annual SSA Oktoberfest and our ‘Edelweiss’ presenting sponsor this year was Atlantic Union Bank.”
The event raised over $41,000.
“The money raised will support SSA’s programs for Alexandria’s older adults, including Meals on Wheels, Groceries to Go, Friendly Visitors and Callers, and our Senior Ambassadors,” Anderson added.
Attendees sampled traditional fare from Old Blue BBQ along with the best of local brewery Port City Brewing Company. Tours of the brewery were available throughout the evening with attendees entertained with traditional Bavarian folk music.
“Port City has hosted this event since it began,” Anderson said. “It was definitely a very fun evening, and so great to see many current and past board members, and the wonderful sponsors who make it possible.”
