From song and dance to Harleys, llamas, lizards and a former Chicago Bear, the Manteno Chamber of Commerce's 16th annual Oktoberfest Celebration will offer a wide range of entertainment, starting Thursday.
The four-day run kicks off with Bike Night on the village's main street and the debut of the Righteous Hillbillies band. And getting those two groups in place should settle the nerves of first-time event coordinator, chamber director Staci Wilken.
"I just came on in April, so there's a lot to learn," she said. "And all I can say so far is that this looks like a great year ... and I owe so much to all of our wonderful volunteers."
Those llamas, lizards and some other unlikely animals will be on display Friday, when the annual pet parade steps off at 6 p.m. The night's entertainment continues with the Showcase of Bands, starting at 7.
