Fall brings with it cooler temperatures and lots of fall festivals, hay rides and, of course, Oktoberfest celebrations in communities across the U.S. This weekend, locals interested in sharing in the annual tradition can head to Selinsgrove for the DH&L (Dauntless Hook and Ladder) Fire Company’s Second Annual Oktoberfest, which will be held noon-5 p.m. Saturday at the fire company, 713 Bridge Street, DailyItem.com reported.

Tickets are $50 for general admission. Money from the event will go towards the cost of a new $1.5 million truck to replace a 1998 ladder truck, the report said. They hope to be able to buy the truck in 2023.

The event will feature four different types of beer, a commemorative Oktoberfest mug (glass mason jar mug), access to five food trucks and live music. A $10 voucher for food also comes with the ticket. Designated driver tickets are available for $30 and also include the food voucher. You must be 21 or over to attend, the report said.

The three live bands include Becky Blue Band, Kinzey, and Nate Myers and the Aces.

Food trucks on site for the day will be Son of a Butcher, Big Mambos, Sparky’s Donuts — crowd favorites, according to Christine — as well as Heimbach’s Country Store and Rolling Cones Ice Cream.

Funds raised by the company also help cover day to day operations and special events like banquets, the report said.
