What a day! Our hearts are absolutely full after such a wonderful Oktoberfest at The Dunnegan Estate. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this first year so special!
A very special THANK YOU to our incredible food vendors, Beanie's Soft Pretzels and Old West Dogs, for keeping everyone fed with delicious German-inspired favorites! We are still hearing from people about how great the food was.
Thank you to our special musical guests, Polka Your Eyes Out, for bringing the music, energy and fun that made our Bier Garden come alive!
A HUGE thank you to Matt Henenberg for encouraging us to take this leap, cheering us on throughout the planning process, and serving as our energetic MC. Your enthusiasm, yodeling and support meant more than you know!
And to Linda Simmons, you are the BEST for always capturing so many wonderful moments and memories for us. We are so grateful you always say yes and take the best photos!
We also want to give a very special shout-out to Kansas City Bier Company for brewing an authentic Fest Bier that our guests loved, but even more importantly, for sharing your advice and helping us along the way. Your support helped us bring a little taste of Germany to the Dunnegan Estate!
And finally, to our family, friends, neighbors and the entire community — THANK YOU. ❤️
Thank you for showing up, celebrating with us, laughing with us, dancing with us, participating in the contests, enjoying the Bier Garden and simply making the day so much fun.
We dreamed about what an Oktoberfest at the Estate could look like, but you are what made it feel like a true community celebration. We are incredibly grateful for every person who walked through our gates and helped make this day one we won't soon forget.
Next year's Oktoberfest will be September 18, 2027!! Mark your calendars now!
Prost to our amazing community!
