There was plenty of entertainment at the Santan Brewing Oktoberfest, held Sept. 28 at A.J. Chandler Park in Downtown Chandler. Members of the band Rock Lobster played many rock hits, including a medley with The Outfield’s “Your Love" and Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer.
Frontmen JJ, left, and Andre, and their group PickupLines covered songs from at least five different decades.
Many holiday and other events are slated to be held downtown and elsewhere in Chandler in the months ahead.
