Most attendees waited through long lines to indulge in Odell Brewing Company’s seasonal Oktoberfest brew. By 2 p.m., the vendors had already gone through three kegs of Odell’s Oktoberfest brew, showing it to be one of the more popular choices among attendees.
In addition to beer, the event celebrated the last outdoor concert for Fort Collins this season. The show featured local bands including Matt Mahern’s Constitution, Wasteland Hop and The Burrows.
Most attendees came for the beer and free music, and plenty brought their dogs as well, enjoying the small escape from their daily lives.
