The lederhosen and traditional dirndls were on display as Senior Services of Alexandria celebrated with its 15th annual Oktoberfest fundraiser Oct. 8 at Port City Brewing Company.

“We had about 160 guests,” said SSA executive director Mary Lee Anderson. “This was the 15th annual SSA Oktoberfest and we raised just over $45,000 to support nutrition, companionship and informational programs.”

Presenting sponsor for the evening was Focus Data Solutions.

SSA programs for Alexandria’s older adults include Meals on Wheels, Groceries to Go, Friendly Visitors and Callers and Senior Ambassadors.

Attendees sampled traditional fare along with the best of local brewery Port City Brewing Company. Tours of the brewery were available throughout the evening with attendees entertained with traditional Bavarian folk music.

“Port City has hosted this event since it began,” Anderson said. “SSA had an amazing time celebrating with everyone who joined us and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out and supported our mission.”
