Any suggestions on how to celebrate Oktoberfest without alcohol…
I work at a VA so many of my veterans struggle with alcoholism… I am planning a mule wagon ride, some yard games and pretzels with cheese sauce… in case the weather doesn’t cooperate - any other suggestions? I am on a sub-acute rehab unit with several veterans with dementia….
Hi Trisha
You can use some of these ideas

I was not allowed to serve alcohol either so I either made a non-alcoholic punch with Gingerale and some kind of fruit juice or a used root beer as the beer
I'm planning a pub themed day and will serve SPARKLING APPLE CIDER instead of beer.
I work at a senior center and we are going to celebrate with pretzels and root beer. You could also have ginger beer.

Music and food are always great to use
We have regular festivities and use zero alcohol beer or wines. They taste and smell very similar to the real deal....
Hi Vasilki

Can you tell us what specifically you served to drink??
Thanks
