Hickory’s Oktoberfest
Oct 11th, 2007 by John Setzler

As far as entertainment in Hickory, North Carolina is concerned, this weekend is one of my favorite times of year. The local Oktoberfest celebration in downtown Hickory cranks up around lunch time tomorrow. As a photographer, I love visiting this event to take photos of people and things I encounter throughout the day. I also love browsing the craft vendors and listening to the live music that fills the air from three or four different stages around the downtown area. One of the main attractions on the music front at this year’s Oktoberfest is The Little River Band. These guys were a favorite of mine when I was younger, but I still love their music. They are the headline event on Saturday night.
I’ll post a gallery of photos later in the weekend from this event. I’m trying to come up with a personal theme to work on over the weekend…
