After holding a successful picnic in May 1877, the association decided to hold a planting festival in the fall that would exhibit field and garden products and livestock. This event became known as Oktoberfest and has been held at Anhalt since 1877. Oktoberfest features entertainment and dances and a traditional meal of pot roast, peas, potato salad, and sauerkraut.

Music was a major part of my life growing up. At the age of 13, my dad and I joined a well known band called "The Westernaires." We played music mainly in the Giddings, Brenham, Bellville, and Rosenberg area.
