Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest at Craftsbury was an embarrassment of riches. With a beer garden and bonfire, cheese boards groaning with local choices, a menu that just wouldn't quit and music and dancing that went late into the night. The enthusiastic crowd of locals, staff, house guests and GRP scullers and skiers kicked up their heels and celebrated autumn Craftsbury-style.
