The Friends of Newtown Seniors hosted another sold-out social event. This month it was the FONS Oktoberfest, its third annual, too.

The event was hosted at NewSylum Brewing Company on Sunday, October 20. This was the first time the event was held indoors, and the menu featured an all-you-can-eat buffet with bratwurst, knockwurst, German potato salad, red cabbage, pizza, giant pretzels, dessert, and, of course, beer.

“Solid Gold Times Two” performed during the event and there was a 50/50 raffle. FONS and all who attended had a great time celebrating with friends and neighbors. State Representative Mitch Bolinsky attended the event, too, to show support to the seniors.

Some attendees dressed up for the occasion in traditional German dresses and lederhosen.

FONS Board of Directors member Beverly Bennett Schaedler welcomed guests to the event and was pleased to know it was an at-capacity event.
