My First Time |

I love that Des Moines really gets behind the holidays. Well, at least the holidays that revolve around drinking like St. Patty's Day and Oktoberfest. Thursday at noon the latter holiday kicked off with a Taste of Oktoberfest. Held at Capital Square on 5th and Walnut, the Taste offered $1 brats to the first 200 people and $3 brats for everyone after that. A few co-workers and I walked over from our office and arrived at 12:30. Apparently 200 people beat us there because my brat was $3 and luke-warm. But now, the place was dead. About a dozen downtown workers sat sporadically around the atrium as the Polka Club of Iowa slowly spun around the middle. The star was an 80+ year old woman, pictured to the left, who didn't miss a step. So if you really, really love brats and polka music, this is a must attend event.
