Rod Boardman and Joan Paulson met for a photo opportunity at high noon on Oct. 11. No, it wasn’t a John Wayne movie; it was to announce the 2023 Oktoberfest Fest Master and Miss Oktoberfest.
Boardman, clad with buttons from previous years’ events on his suspenders, had his hands in various Oktoberfest happenings over the years. “This is my eighth year, and I’ve just been a go-fer for anything.”
