RIO RANCHO, N.M. (KRQE) – A special harvest event has made its way to Rio Rancho all the way from Germany.
The City of Rio Rancho hosted their take on the Munich “Oktoberfest” for a two-day event on Friday and Saturday.
Event-goers could explore local vendors and taste different German delicacies and the finest beers and wines.
“We have so much food. We’ve got schnitzel, bratwurst, pretzels, strudel, and German beer and wine, and you can hear the wonderful music and entertainment, and can I tell you? Everyone here attending is so delightful,” said Christina Dubois.
