Dayton German Club celebrates spring with outdoor Biergartens

Prost! Oktoberfest featuring a German American Day Celebration was held at the Dayton Liederkranz-Turner German Club in Dayton's St. Anne's Hill Historic District on Saturday, October 3, 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, German food and beer were enjoyed by attendees in a tent with socially distanced tables instead of inside the club as has been in past years. Food, beer and merchandise could also be ordered to go onsite or online via the club's Square site. Did we spot you at the Kranz during Oktoberfest? TOM GILLIAM/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER
