CIRCUS SAYS GOODBYE - OKTOBERFEST SAYS HELLO
East Farewell – The Circus had barely packed up their last
railroad car and stowed their final tent pole when the organizers for the second
East Farewell Oktoberfest took over the Fairgrounds. The Oktoberfest has been
moved up from last year’s November start to better fit the traditional time of
the celebration. Another change for this year is the festival has been
shortened from two weeks to one week. This decision was made after it was
widely agreed that last year’s two week duration was too long and people felt it
was just too long. Instead of calling off the festival altogether, it was
shortened to one week. The Oktoberfest will kick off on Saturday morning but
there will be Main Street Stroll on Friday night. Since the Fairgrounds back up
to the Fun Pier the Pier’s rides will be open for the entire Festival along
with the boardwalk and most of the shops. Fairgrounds will have giant tents and
plenty of action going on inside. Three of the five tents will have stages and
plenty of tables and seats. The table will be long picnic-like tables and the
seats will mostly be benches. There will be plenty of food, too, all served in
a family style which is placing large platter and bowls along the center and
sharing servings among everyone at the table. There will be roasted chicken and
of course, bratwurst on the menu and certainly lots of beer and other softer
beverages. Bands will be playing on the stages in the evenings and many of the
local favorites will be performing. The Jerry Tabor Band will headline at the opening.
The other bands on the schedule are Big Roy and the Magnificents, Charley Green
and his Soggy Bottom Boys and a big hit returning from last year, the Hans
Snider Polka Band. The bands will revolve around the different tent stages and
their schedules will be posted all around the fairgrounds. The Oktoberfest will
run from Saturday to Sunday from 9:00AM to 11:30PM on the weekends and from
11:00AM to 10:00PM on the weekdays.

COUGARS CHASE THE DEVILS AWAY
Corning - Away from the field, Bill
Dolan and Mitch “Merc” McMaster don’t spend much time
together. Dolan, Cougar’s junior quarterback, likes to “go a
bunch of places,” according to McMaster, a wide receiver who said he is more of
a homebody. But the two talk every day and throw a minimum of 30 balls
each day, and an undeniable chemistry is starting to form between the
two. “We had a really productive summer together, getting
together almost every day and playing,” Dolan said after the Cougar’s 28-7 romp
over Corning. “I’m so lucky to have him.”
So when Dolan tossed an interception on his second pass
Saturday, he went back to the connection he knows best. After
throwing two interceptions on his first six throws, Dolan finished the day 9 of
14 for 167 yards with a pair of touchdowns. McMaster caught
three of those nine passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. “We
just like having fun out here,” McMaster said with a smile. “It’s a good time.”
McMaster’s first two catches in the
first half were sideline grabs, each going for at least 30
yards. Dolan saw McMaster in single coverage on the edge, and
McMaster — a 6-foot-3, 166-pound senior was just too big and
fast for Corning’s corners. Then there was McMaster’s third-quarter
touchdown catch on Dolan’s last, and most important, throw of the
evening. Trailing 21-0 at halftime, Corning received the ball
to start the third quarter. After a Devils fumble, the Cougars put
together a six-play, 45-yard drive, which ended when Dolan found McMaster
in the corner of the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown. Just
like that, Dolan’s rocky start segued into a smooth finish. Cougar’s
Coach Al
Burcowitz said,"Dolan just needed to settle down
early in the first quarter. Once he did, he threw a couple of very nice
balls, especially those three to Webb. Billy D. and Merc
definitely have a connection, a good one-two punch.”
The
Cougars travel to Slate Mountain’s north side next week to take on the Canaries
who will be holding their Homecoming. The Canaries are one of the other top
ranked teams in league along with the Devils and the Cougars.
