There is no entry fee to this popular event. The Round Top Schuetzen (members of the Rifle Assn.) work very hard in keeping this event as German themed as possible. All are invited to experience a real Texas German Oktoberfest. Come in your lederhosen, hat and dirndls if you wish! Visit roundtoprifle.com for more information.
