One of the earliest and highest Oktoberfests in the county occurs in
Breckenridge, just as the leaves change colors this weekend. As stein-
holders enjoy German food, oompah and polka music, and Paulaner bier along Main Street, the Trachten Erhaltungs Verein Edelweiss members perform
traditional German dances as a club that preserves the customs and traditions of Germany. The 24th annual festival continues today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
