Bob Klinger Band

We really “wauna” know what is going on in Waunakee! First there was the WaunaBoom fest for the 4th of July; then the big WaunaFest blowout just three weeks later. Now there's Wauktoberfest, which you may be surprised to learn is not primarily about wauking, but rather a fall beer festival. Guest brewers and special beers each day, polka bands (including a farewell performance by the Bob Klinger Band at noon on Sept. 19, and more music, too), a limburger eating contest, a sauerkraut eating contest and a dachshund race are just lead-ins to the main attraction, Saturday afternoon's beer tasting with more than 100 beers. Complete schedule and info at wauktoberfest.com.

press release: Held on the Endres Manufacturing Grounds at 802 S. Century Ave., Waunakee, Wi 53597. Worried about missing the big games? There will be TVs on fest grounds for Packers viewing!
