Oktoberfest will return to Henderson on Nov. 6. The Henderson-Vance Downtown Development Commission will again host the event, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Henderson.

A committee selected to fol-low up on ideas from last year’s premier Oktoberfest celebration hopes this year’s event will be just as exciting and successful.

One key feature that commis-sion members agreed could not be improved on was the stage and street performances by the Little German Band and Danc-ers.

Commission Chairman Jason Stewardson said the band’s performance includes more movement and interaction than anyone might expect. “It is more

than just music, it’s a whole show,” he said.

Food vendors are being asked to think strudel, bratwurst, sauer-kraut, knockwurst and other foods with links to German culture. Organizers hope to fill the streets of downtown Henderson with the sights and smells of a truly Ger-man celebration of harvest.

“Folks should understand, Oktoberfest is all about celebrat-ing harvest,” Downtown Develop-ment Commission Director Phil Lakernick said. “We’re on target for that with our early-November celebration date.”

The Little German Band has 80 members, all volunteer Oktoberfest enthusiasts. Any-where from a couple dozen band members up to more than half the troop are likely to head out for a typical event.

Stewardson said the band

and festival means excitement for families plus fun and games for children. Children’s games, attractions and vendors are slated to begin that morning, some situ-ated in the library area.

The intersection at Breck-enridge and Wyche streets is planned as a focal point for band and show activities, with a flow of celebration fanning out from there.

Ahner Security and Harris Distributing are key sponsors for the events.

Oktoberfest started 200 years ago in Munich, Germany. The 16-day festival grew in recent years due to additional remembrances of German reunification. Dates in Munich run from late September to early October. It has also be-come a global phenomenon, with celebration dates varied depend-ing on seasonal and local factors.

The ninth annual Show, Shine, Shag & Dine Car Show will once again return to downtown Hender-son Oct. 16 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show, sponsored by the Vance County Tourism Department, brings automotive aficionados to the county each October to view other enthusiasts’ cars or to display their own.

Garnett Street in Henderson becomes a pedestrian mall to showcase vehicles of infinite variety. In recent years, the crowds for the weekend have grown to more than 50,000 spectators. More than 1,500 vehicles of different sizes, shapes and makes will be on display during the show. Spectators can browse the cars and trucks while listen-ing and dancing to live music or sampling the offerings of the many food vendors and Henderson’s own downtown restaurants.

Dennis Gage will also be film-ing a segment of the TV show “My Classic Car,” during the event.

Registration for 1976 and older antique/classic cars & nostalgic drag cars begins at 7:30 a.m. The fee for judged cars is $25. Non-judged cars can register for $20.
