The Raemelton Therapeutic Equestrian Center is preparing for its highly anticipated Oktoberfest event, slated for Saturday, October 26. From 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM, the center’s supporters and community members will gather at Snow Trails for an evening of authentic German cuisine, live entertainment, and a chance to support an important local cause.
A Night of Celebration with a Purpose
Oktoberfest at Raemelton Therapeutic Equestrian Center is not just about good food and music; it’s about making a difference in the lives of those who benefit from the center’s services. The evening will feature an authentic German dinner, complete with traditional favorites that are sure to delight attendees. A key feature of the night will be live music performed by Drew Allen, setting the perfect tone for a festive and meaningful gathering. An open bar will also be available, ensuring a lively and enjoyable atmosphere until 9:30 PM.
This event is a reservation-only experience with limited seating, ensuring an intimate and personal environment for all participants. Tickets are priced at $125 per person, and attendees are encouraged to reserve early due to the high demand and limited capacity. Proceeds from the evening will directly support Raemelton’s mission to provide therapeutic equestrian experiences for individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
