Douglas Octoberfest Committee Announces the Douglas Octoberfest on Saturday, October 6, 2012

Douglas -The Douglas Octoberfest Committee is pleased to announce Douglas Octoberfest will take place on Saturday, October 6th, 2012. Already signed on for Octoberfest 2012 are the Douglas High School Marching Band, Blue Cat Grove, and the British Invasion group, the Brit Wits. We are currently seeking entertainment, vendors, sponsors, and volunteers to help continue the excellent tradition of this signature event.

Last year Douglas Octoberfest welcomed over 7,000 people from all over the Blackstone Valley to Main Street in Douglas for this family friendly event. At 9:00am on October 6th we will once again close off Main Street with two performance stages and the streets will fill with vendors, music, rides, games, and more. We are also welcoming back the very popular "15 Minutes of Fame," a special entertainment segment in which local musicians will have the opportunity to showcase their talent.

If interested in a vendor spot, volunteering, or performing, email us at douglas_octoberfest@yahoo.com, or visit www.douglasoctoberfest.com for more information.
