Scenes from Roxtoberfest [gallery]
On Saturday Oct. 5, Lyceum Avenue in Roxborough was lined with people, food and organizations for Roxborough’s first Roxtoberfest. Among the bustle of people brought together by the family-friendly environment was a live band, dunk tank, moon bounce and face-painting stand for kids.
Children were not the only ones who benefitted from the good time on Saturday, however. Penn distributors sponsored a Roxtoberfest beer garden while Foodery hosted a beer tasting for visitors over 21.
