Barbara Lawlor, Nederland. This could be the start of something big.
Last year the community Oktober Fest came and went in a blur of freezing, wet weather. People warmed their hands over the bratwurst grill and grinned grimly.
This year, the sun beckoned a lively crowd to the Guercio Ball Field where a pirate-shaped bounce house wiggled and jiggled whenever a kid bounced. A Bavarian beer pourer smiled with every pull as partiers wiped foam from their lips.
The Pine Dwellers band entertained from late afternoon blinding sunshine to the cool evening and long shadows.
It was like a mini-NedFest with a German accent. Local Nederland musicians played the tweener spot, adding to their growing number of gigs in the community.
It was a mellow event, non-controversial in the town, and probably just the beginning of a Ned autumnal tradition.
"Now this is what I was talking about," said one of the organizers.
