Prost! Cahaba Brewing and Mom’s Host Oktoberfest Block Party

In a nod to the annual Munich-based German folk festival, Cahaba Brewing Company and Mom’s Basement in Avondale teamed up to host an Oktoberfest block party Sept. 19.

The parking lot at Cahaba’s taproom was blocked off to provide enough space for social distancing as well as food trucks, stein-hoisting competitions, live music and more activities.

A line-up of live bands included Oompah-Calypse and Cash Back, with the band Spittoons playing at Mom’s Basement.

Food trucks on site included Alabama Peanut Co., AwwShucks, Maggie’s Farm, Ono Ice and Jacob Schwartz Brats with Harvest Roots Sauerkraut, joined by the House Plant Collective truck.

Folks who could not make it in person were able to take part in a virtual Oktoberfest tasting of Germanstyle beers, led by the brewery’s master brewer. ❖

Back in Action Antiquarian Society Kicks Off New Year

Board members of the Antiquarian Society of Birmingham met recently at the home of President Becky Keyes to discuss plans for the 2020-21 year.

Programs for the society feature speakers on a wide variety of topics related to antiques, art and historic landmarks.

During the meeting, Keyes presented past President Diana Turnipseed with a gift of appreciation for her leadership. Following the meeting, a luncheon was served to members.

Serving on the executive board this year are Amy Tully, first vice president; Lucy Richardson, second vice president; Kay Wooten, corresponding secretary; Janet Krueger, recording secretary; Judy Long, treasurer; Carolyn Delk, historian; and Elouise Williams, parliamentarian.

Others attending the meeting and luncheon were Nan Teninbaum, Linda Stewart, Dottie Hoover, Nancy Jones, Marjorie Forney, Susan Dasher, Jan Smith, Marsha Duell, Nancy Terrell, Kirke Cater, Nancy Skinner, Barbara Klyce, Laura Wallace, Mary Jean Meyers, Rebekah Taylor and Jean Hendrickson.

Founded in 1944, the Antiquarians was formed by a group of women with a shared interest in antiques and a desire to learn more. Among the group’s objectives was promoting their appreciation of antiques as an art form and learning about the historical impact of various objects.

This focus led the society to join in relationships with the Birmingham Museum of Art and Arlington House, which continue today. ❖
