Orland Township Seniors Celebrate Oktoberfest

Nearly 250 seniors attended Orland Township’s Oktoberfest Dinner Dance.

Nearly 250 seniors attended Orland Township’s Oktoberfest Dinner Dance on Thursday, Oct. 6. The dance, held at Orland Chateau, is a new addition to them many the Township holds throughout the year.

The dance featured Polka Plus, a magnificent four-piece band with Dave Mateja, and had the crowd dancing all night long with their performances of many popular polkas and fan favorite ballroom dances.

Guests were treated to a delicious festive menu provided by Orland Chateau, including sausage, carrots, home-made apple sauce, and pierogis, with access to a cash bar and dessert before the night ended.

Additionally, the evening also included raffle baskets and split the pot drawings

“The Oktoberfest season: the music, food, just the atmosphere is amazing.” Said guest Sophia Hanna. “I enjoy watching everybody dance and enjoy themselves, having a good time no matter their age.”

 

Dinner dances are something to look forward to for many Orland Township seniors as they provide a way to celebrate the community many are a part of. With opportunities to mingle with your friends and meet new acquaintances, or moments to celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries, there’s always something more to do.
