Octoberfest in Hermann with Friends

It is October and here in Hermann it is always the month with the most tourists. The town is at its best for putting on a good time for so many visitors that come to this historically German town. There are many events, special themes at the wineries, shops and restaurants all month.

Jennifer and Bryan are both retired police officers and I have hiked with Jennifer many times, as we are both in the OTSHAB (Ozark trail section hikers and backpackers) group. Jen has also just returned from completing the entire Appalachian Trail, (2162 miles.) Impressively, deciding almost on the spur of the moment to do it as a retirement present to herself! 

As it turns out they were both also going to the RUSH concert in St. Louis the same night as us, so it was perfect for them to come and spend a few days afterward in Hermann as that would put the visit over the weekend.

RUSH:

The line at the RUSH show for merchandise before the doors opened was LONG! 

Enterprise Center filling up... a sold out show

The show starts

Xanadu opening

The end... probably the best I have ever heard the songs played live.

Anika was superb.

A rare moment, one funny mistake from Alex at the beginning of 2112. You could see the Anika and Geddy laugh 🤣
