Join us for the 13th Annual OktoBEARfest October 27, 2012! 

There are activities for all ages, including live German music by Jim Pekol and his Orchestra.  Brats, all-beef franks, kraut fritters, and German potato salad are available in the Bear’s Den Bar & Grill, along with full bar and German beer selections. Freshly baked German bread in a variety of flavors donated by Camp's SuperValu of St. Germain will be available for purchase. Food and beer proceeds will be donated to the Vilas County Historical Museum in Sayner, home of the first snowmobiles invented by Carl Eliason. 

Children’s activities are provided throughout the day and include make and take pumpkin painting, face tattoos, caramel apple creations, and coloring contests.

Crafters and artists will exhibit their unique art and craft wares in all of the ground-level lodging units at the resort, stretching out over 2,100 feet of lakeshore on Little St. Germain Lake. Fest-goers can also ride around the resort on a tractor pulled hay ride.

Many craft and door prizes will be given away throughout the day with hourly drawings at the Bear’s Den. The grand prize is a 2 night stay at the Black Bear Lodge valued at up to $450 which will be drawn at 4 PM.

A meet-the-vendors party with dinner buffet and live entertainment by Mark Wayne will finish out the day’s festivities at 5PM.

Sponsors who help to make this year’s event such a success include Camp’s SuperValu Foods and WRJO 94.50 Oldies Radio.

Mark your calendars for the 13th Annual OktoBEARfest to benefit the Vilas County Museum, scheduled for October 27, 2012.
