The Friends of Bardsdale Church will be hosting “OctoberFest”, Saturday October 25, from 5 to 8 PM, at the spacious and elegant Grimes Canyon home of Monty and Maio Winkler.
The festive evening is the first fundraising event planned by the group and will begin with hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine, and a silent auction. Following a Bavarian-themed dinner, the fun will continue with a live auction.
A sampling of items up for auction include vacations in destinations such as Hawaii, Las Vegas, Big Bear and Oxnard Shores. Some recreational offerings are a round of golf for four at Elkins Ranch, tickets to Disneyland, Six Flags, whale watching and Dodgers baseball. Works of art by local artists and an opportunity to have a painting of your own residence can be won by bid. There are tickets to theatre productions at Moorpark Melodrama, Rubicon and Theatre League and dinners from local restaurants. Transportation needs can be met with a 1991 Cadillac Seville.
Friends of Bardsdale Church is a group of friends from the communities of Bardsdale and Fillmore who see a need to raise funds to upgrade and maintain the church, a county historical landmark. “OctoberFest” seemed an appropriately themed celebration as the church was founded in 1892 by German families who migrated to Bardsdale from the Midwest.
Tickets for “OctoberFest” are limited and cost $20 per person. For ticket information, call 524-5202 or 524-2070.
