The Minster Oktoberfest is held in Minster, Ohio every year. The Wheelmen have been represented over 11 years.
The Wheelmen participation in the Minster Oktoberfest parade is sponsored every year by Mel's Decorating. After the parade, most of the Wheelmen pose with Bill and Vera of Mel's Decorating.
Bill and Vera provide a banquet of food and drink for friends and the Wheelmen.
Before the parade, the Wheelmen assembled near spot #13 for the traditional photo. Jackets are in evidence due to the brisk breeze and chilly temperatures that day.
