celebrate Oktoberfest and
support Crossroads Carnegie
Art Center with a drive-thru
event on Saturday, Oct. 16.

Crossroads Carnegie Art Center

“It’s simply not a good idea
to gather 250 people together
indoors right now,” said Ginger

critical operating support we
need to keep Crossroads go-

Crossroads will provide every-
thing you need to have an at-
home celebration, Oktoberfest
style, with a tablecloth, napkins
and a link to fi nd festive music.
Dinner tickets are $40 per
person and available at www.

of beer from Barley Brown’s
