LEXINGTON, Mo. -- Attendees at this year's Old West Octoberfest will have a chance to experience all of the old, but a little something new.
Old West Octoberfest started out as Lexington's well-known Apples, Arts and Antiques festival. Perhaps more fitting to the town's rich history, the name was changed.
Lexington is small-town-famous for being the site of the Battle of Lexington and the civil war cannonball, still lodged in the side of the courthouse.
During this year's Old West Octoberfest eight living-history characters will step onto a trolley and tell their past stories to onlookers during the all-new Historic Tours. Anyone interested can reserve a spot for the 10 a.m. or 3 p.m. tour timeslots.
Other events include pony rides, live music by Kerry Beach, an Old West Cowboy Shootout and the Bucket Band at Wentworth Memorial Park. For a full list of Saturday events at Old West Octoberfest in Lexington, click here.
