What is the significance behind Appleton’s largest civic celebration being named after a German festival and what, if any, meaningful connections are there to the Oktoberfest in Munich? Hearthstone Executive Director George Schroeder will lead an hour-long presentation that illustrates Appleton’s troubled past and bright future.
