[October 02, 2015]  LINCOLN - Healthy Communities Partnership is encouraging those who celebrate at Oktoberfest this Saturday, October 3 to call for a free ride home. Safe Ride is a free ride home sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

“Safe Ride helps to keep our streets safer during events and holidays when children and families are more likely to be celebrating away from home. Our hope is that Oktoberfest participants will remember that the service is available and choose not to drink and drive,” said Angela Stoltzenburg, Healthy Communities Partnership Manager.

Oktoberfest will be held at the Oasis Senior Center located at 2810 Woodlawn Road in Lincoln from 11am to 10pm on Saturday, October 3rd. The event will raise funds for both the Oasis and the Humane Society of Logan County. The event will consist of delicious German food being served all day and an outdoor beer garden manned by HSLC volunteers. The band, Hat Trick, will perform from 7pm to 10pm. There will also be face painting for the kids and games for adults.

In 2015, Safe Ride will also be available Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on any of these nights, ask the bartender for a Safe Ride ticket.
