Reminded Americans genuinely like each other

To the editor:

Last Saturday, our six adult children joined us to launch a new family tradition: attending Oktoberfest at Schell’s Brewery.

As we treasured our time together, I marveled at the sight of 6,000 other people from diverse backgrounds socializing over some of the best beer in America and sharing in our collective human experience. It was a beautiful reminder that Americans genuinely like each other. We have something special in this great country, and I hope we can preserve it.

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to Ted and Jodi and the entire Marti family, all the staff and volunteers at Schell’s Brewery, and everyone in New Ulm for welcoming all and making both Oktoberfest weekends memorable.

P.S. A big shoutout to the Journal for capturing all the fun happenings throughout the year in New Ulm, the No. 1 city in America.
