Oktoberfest comes to Kawana Island

Sadly, there was no Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany this year but this did not deter the fun-loving residents of Living Choice Kawana Island from celebrating this much-loved annual event. Resident Carole Harrison teamed up with her husband Michael and Manfred and Janne Bernhard to hold the event over three different nights, to comply with COVID-19 restrictions. Every event was fully booked!

“Manfred and Janne were in charge of the cooking and Michael was the washer-upper. I was chief of whatever organising needed to be done. It was a great team effort,” said Carole, adding that 32 guests attended each night with places being snapped up quickly. Both Manfred and Janne are qualified chefs and they prepared a delicious Schnitzel dinner for only $15 per head.

Other residents are organising events too, including a Ladies’ Lunch at Gun Cotton Coffee Café in Yandina on 29^th October and a Men’s Lunch at the Caloundra Power Boat Club on  12^th November. In addition, the popular Old Time Music Hall will be returning to the auditorium stage on 2nd, 5th, 6th, 16th and 19th December.
