COMMUNITY Tuesday, October 18, 2016 East Oregonian ECHO COMING EVENTS Oktoberfest offers fun, food and frights Will feature live music from Pendleton’s Rowdy Fix Band By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian The town of Echo is spreading Oktoberfest fun all over town this weekend. Coordinated by the Echo Kiwanis, it’s designed as a fundraiser for a restoration project of the historic St. Peter’s Catholic Church. The event is Saturday from 2-10 p.m. Although the Echo Ridge Cellars warehouse — located on the left at the bottom of the hill as you come into Echo — is “Oktoberfest central,” children’s activities are part of downtown’s Scarecrows on Main. Oktoberfest costs $15, which provides four coupons if purchased in advance (three if bought at the door). Addi- tional coupons are $5 each. The coupons can be used for food, beer, the haunted house or half-off at the Echo Crazy Corn Maze & Haunt. Children are welcome at Echo Ridge Cellars from 2-6 p.m., which features hot dogs, potato sausage, salads, homemade sauerkraut and handmade artisan chocolates. In addition, the 21-and-older crowd can enjoy beer and wine. From 6-10 p.m., the adult-only hours will feature Pendleton’s Rowdy Fix Band, who will take the stage at 6:45 p.m. In its third year, the Scare- crows on Main activities run from 2-5 p.m. on Main Street and George Park. Kids are invited to decorate pumpkins, play games and receive a free children’s book, while supplies last. Things will blast off between 2:15-3 p.m., as Pendleton Center for the Arts presents a Halloween-themed rocket project. People can build or bring a scarecrow for the contest from 10 a.m. to noon at Gathered Over Time, 210 W. Main St. Registration Staff photo by Tammy Malgesini Dan McClinton lurks in the Haunted Warehouse Saturday at Echo Ridge Cellars. The attraction is part of this weekend’s Echo Oktoberfest. It also will be open Saturday, Oct. 29 and Halloween. forms are available at www. echo-oregon.com/news/b. html. Ribbons will be presented at 2 p.m. and cash prizes of $50 will be awarded to best of show (for an adult entry and a youth entry), a trophy and $25 for peoples’ choice, and $25 for the scare- crow deemed the “most fun.” Calling Echo a tight-knit community, Joe Ramos, Echo Kiwanis president-elect, said there has been an outpouring of support for the Oktoberfest event. Many individuals and businesses have come forward to assist with the effort because of their interest in supporting the preservation of the old church building, he said. Echo Kiwanis president Michael Duffy said the grassroots effort to restore the building has sprouted quickly. He said everyone seems to have a sense of Page 7A appreciation for the value of the building and are willing to pitch in where needed. Gary Marcum jumped at the chance to create the Haunted Warehouse as part of the Oktoberfest event. The Echo man enjoys providing frightening fun. Marcum rounded up a crew and went all out in creating the attrac- tion, which opened this past Saturday. In addition, to this weekend’s Oktoberfest, the haunt will be open Saturday, Oct. 29 and Halloween from 7-9 p.m. A deconsecrated Cath- olic church, the St. Peter’s structure was built in 1913. Currently owned by the Fort Henrietta Foundation, the structure is on the National Register of Historic Places.
