Festhalle mural to be dedicated Aug. 28

Screen Shot 2018-08-14 at 1.32.33 PMMount Angel Community Foundation invites the public to the unveiling of a new mural to grace the front of Mount Angel Festhalle Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 4 p.m.

The mural is the crowning glory to Festhalle’s exterior. It was made possible in part by a $10,000 grant from Roth Family Foundation,

Painted by Silverton artist David McDonald, its design encapsulates Mount Angel’s charm and character, from Abbey Hill to Oktoberfest.

Father Philip Waibel will dedicate the mural. Refreshments will be served.

Michael Roth of Roth Family Foundation said this is just the kind of thing his father Orville Roth would want to get behind.

“The Oktoberfest was truly one of the highlights of the year for Orville,” Roth said. “He thoroughly enjoyed every minute that he was walking the grounds, dancing or listening to the bands.”
