Oktoberfest Kansas City Style:
One of the things I love most about fall is all the great things to do outside in Kansas City. Enter the annual Oktoberfest. The clan has been going for years now--and there is just something about beer, brats, pumpkin launches and polka that make me want to scream 'widerhosen' with a side of snuff while doing the chicken dance. Inside joke. So grab the fam, get your Runza, and embrace your inner Bavarian.

Fun for Familes:
Oktoberfest is fun for the whole family--they have a great carnival with rides, games and an occasional blow up slide or two. The fest also has a Kinder Garten area filled with fun. Pumpkin decorating, crafts and food top the list of fun things to do with the little ones.
