Orland Township Seniors Celebrate Oktoberfest

ORLAND PARK, IL — Nearly 250 seniors attended Orland Township’s Oktoberfest Dinner Dance on Thursday, Oct. 6. The dance, held at Orland Chateau, is a new addition to them many the Township holds throughout the year.

The dance featured Polka Plus, a magnificent four-piece band with Dave Mateja, and had the crowd dancing all night long with their performances of many popular polkas and fan favorite ballroom dances.

Guests were treated to a delicious festive menu provided by Orland Chateau, including sausage, carrots, home-made apple sauce, and pierogis, with access to a cash bar and dessert before the night ended. Additionally, the evening also included raffle baskets and split the pot drawings

“The Oktoberfest season: the music, food, just the atmosphere is amazing.” Said guest Sophia Hanna. “I enjoy watching everybody dance and enjoy themselves, having a good time no matter their age.”

Dinner dances are something to look forward to for many Orland Township seniors as they provide a way to celebrate the community many are a part of. With opportunities to mingle with your friends and meet new acquaintances, or moments to celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries, there’s always something more to do.
