Oktoberfest on Market Street in Southern Village Set for Saturday, 
October 18

	The First Annual Oktoberfest in Southern Village, sponsored by the 
Merchants on Market Street, will be held Saturday, October 18, from 4-7 
p.m. on the Market Street Green. This community event is free and open 
to the public, and offers something exciting for all ages.
	If you want to learn folk dancing, this is the best free lesson you 
will ever be offered.
	Traditional German Fasching music - polkas, waltzes and marches - will 
be played by the Chapel Hill German Brass Band. There will be eight 
brass players (one recently arrived from Germany) and a percussion 
player with a trap set. The brass band will play from 4-5 p.m. and 6-7 
p.m.
	Great fiddle music will fill the air from 5-6 p.m., when Barney 
Pilgrim, who has played with the Red Clay Ramblers, will play lively 
fiddle tunes that people can dance to. Pilgrim will be backed up by 
Robbie Link on upright bass and Danny Gotham on guitar.
	Dancing will be a featured part of this Oktoberfest celebration. Alice 
Zawadski, coordinator of the Raleigh International Folk Dancers, will 
be present to teach dance moves to novices and call dances for the more 
experienced.
	"My philosophy is that if you can walk, you can dance," Zawadski said. 
"I developed a special folk dance vocabulary that is very enabling. I 
actually developed this technique so I could teach my blind mother to 
dance."
	Zawadski's technique involves learning a word for a certain move. She 
calls the words and dancers make the moves. "It's really very simple, 
and works for any folk or country western dancing," she said.
	A special Oktoberfest brew will be available, made and provided by 
Chapel Hill's own Carolina Brewery. Pazzo's Trattoria, located on 
Market Street, will be making up scores of pizzas and other great food, 
which will be sold right there on the Green.
	Weaver Street will be selling pumpkins and all its usual goodies, and 
Market Street Books and Maps, for its Oktoberfest attraction, will have 
Crabtree & Evelyn in the bookstore with food and product samples from 
4-7 p.m.
	Free craft activities have been planned for kids. Children ages 3-7 
can visit the craft table and make special turkeys for Thanksgiving and 
felt jack-o-lanterns to show off their Halloween costume photos.
	For kids ages 8-12, Scott Nilsen, a landscape designer and owner of 
Garden Gate in Southern Village, will lead a group of up to 30 
youngsters (first come, first served) in designing a Ghoulish Garden. 
The Ghoulish Garden project will begin at 4:30 p.m., will last about 
two hours, will involve creativity and collaboration, and will result 
in a garden that can remain on the Market Street Green for the fall 
holiday season.
	The Mayberry Trolley, the traveling version of Mayberry Creamery, the 
West Franklin Street ice cream store, will be on Market Street to sell 
hot dogs, bratwurst, ice cream, sundaes, milkshakes and Hawaiian shaved 
ice.
