Come and join a festive crowd of revelers under the twinkling lights of a German Biergarten at the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association’s annual WatershedFest on October 15 at 6:30 p.m.

This year’s theme, OktoberFest!, will feature an oompah band, cocktails, and a silent auction in The Watershed Center. Dinner will follow in a festive Biergarten tent, where a live auction will take place. All proceeds will support the Watershed, central New Jersey’s first environmental group, whose staff works tirelessly to keep the region’s water clean, safe, and healthy, and to protect our natural environment.

Lederhosen, dirndls and wellies are welcomed as 300 guests will lift a stein to raise money for the Watershed. The event is co-chaired this year by volunteers Carrie Dyckman, Jon Baum, and Sandra Allen.

Individual tickets to the Fest are $225 and tables and sponsorships are available. Buy your tickets and register to bid remotely, or in-person, for auction items bidpal.net/watershedoktoberfest. Questions? Contact Suzanne Moran at smoran@thewatershed.org or call (609) 737-3735, ext. 28.

The Watershed, founded in 1949, educates more than 10,000 children and adults each year, and practices advocacy, science and conservation in protecting the water and environment of central New Jersey.
