🍂 A Piece of Havana Oktoberfest History! 🍺

A fun blast from the past! 🎉 These classic hand-crafted Oktoberfest mugs from 1990 & 1991 were recently discovered by “once a community member, always a community member” Rick Hardy, who graciously passed them along to one of our committee members, who also happens to be the Parade Director and his niece 😝😅 it was meant to be!

These mugs were made by the Mason County Arts Council and were awarded to parade winners back in the day. How cool is that? 🤍

It’s such a great reminder of our town’s amazing traditions and the creativity that has always been a part of Havana Oktoberfest.

We love celebrating the charm and history of our community and we can’t wait to keep building memories together!

Stay tuned… Oktoberfest planning for next year is already brewing! 🍻😉
