spillage and waste ). The winner of the Stein Hoist not only gets to keep their commemorative stein , but also wins a $ 100 Stratton gift card . Men and women will have their own categories for both the Hoist and the traditional Keg Toss- be sure to sign up and let the friendly competitions begin !
Adding to Stratton ’ s Octoberfest vibe , the fun and spirited Fritz ’ s Polka Band will be playing in the courtyard , treating guests to the classic “ oompa ” beat and the rousing sound of the piano accordion . There will be bratwursts , pretzels , and other German and Austrian delights on hand , and the brewers invited to BrewFest the day before will still be on site offering their sudsy samplings to accompany the cuisine .

Don ’ t fret , there ’ s plenty to do with the kids at HarvestFest ! “ A few years ago , we started doing kids ’ events ,” recalls Brittni . “ That went away with Covid . This year , we ’ re bringing back the kids ’ HarvestFest . There will be a kids ’ fire tower hike and kids ’ crafts , so that we make it a family friendly event . If the parents want to drop them off at our kids ’ camp ( ages 6 to 12 years old ), they can have their own little Harvest- Fest . The best part about the Base Area is that we fence off the parameter , so it ’ s all contained . If your kids are in there , you ’ re all together , and you ’ ll eventually connect with each other ,” she adds .
Stratton ’ s other amenities will also be available during HarvestFest for families or groups of friends to enjoy , like the scenic gondola rides , indoor and outdoor climbing walls , mountain biking and hiking trails , UTV tours , or being a spectator at the pickleball
