Busy, Busy, Busy!

           Well our weekend really started on Thursday night. We went to the Landing Zone here on Ft. Rucker with a couple of friends for trivia and karaoke. They recently started doing this every Thursday night. It starts at six but we didn't get there until 8 and had already missed the first two rounds of trivia. The way it works is that there are three rounds of trivia. In between each round, while they grade everyone's trivia sheet, they do karaoke. It is so much fun! There is such a mix of people that sing. There are hilarious one's that can't really sing but pick excellent songs such as "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and then some are actually really good! I think everyone should try it out sometime. You don't have to sing or play trivia if that's not your thing, but just watching everyone is enough entertainment in itself.
            Friday night was Oktoberfest on Ft. Rucker. I had never been to an Oktoberfest celebration before and this one definitely made me want to go every year! It was a great place to meet up with all of our friends. Of course there was all the beer,bratwurst, and sauerkraut anyone could want. They also had local vendors with tents and kids activities. What would Oktoberfest be without a German Polka band? The band was really fun and kids seemed to love to dance the polka! Fort Rucker really knows how to throw a party!
            Sunday afternoon I drug Jason with me to the GOP BBQ that was help at the Enterprise Civic Center. Now it doesn't matter which party you belong to; this was a neat event for anyone. There was food, some entertainment, but the main event was the many candidates that were there to speak. They had candidates ranging from school board nominees, judges, and the candidate running for Lt. Governor. It was a great opportunity to hear what each candidate was about and what they would like to do for the area and for the state. I would really like to find out if the local Democrat association will be putting something like this together so that everyone could hear both sides. No matter what your party affiliation I think these kind of events are important to attend. It was such a wealth of information. It is important for everyone to get involved with what going on in their community, their state, and their country. Know your candidates and get out and vote this November!
