Last night the Marshalltown City Council discussed moving the Oktemberfest festival due to the outbreak. The Council Meeting started with Mayor Joel Greer reading a letter from Sydney Grewell, Marshall County Public Health Director. Grewell’s recommendation is to move Oktemberfest from the downtown location. The Council discussed what options they had and ultimately, they voted 4-3 to allow the festival in downtown Marshalltown. The Oktemberfest committee was in attendance and they stated they would meet after the City Council meeting and announce their plans at a later date.
