Martin, a member of the Hub-

this group - the first in the Milford
area to perform live rock and roll
music. Since their beginning in

Rods have delighted many audi-
ences with their music of the 50s
and 60s.
"I love the 50s and 60s and have
so much fun bringing back all
those great memories," Martin
said. The group will be sure to
have the crowd dcing, laughing
and singing along as they remem-
ber all the favorite hits of rock and
roll's greatest legends. The group
has performed at many events, in-
cluding opening for Oldies 100's
Birthday Celebration concert in
Kathie Martin and the Hotrods will be on stage during the
Milford Oktoberfest on Friday, Oct. 3.

KATARI, which plays Saturday,

from Mexico, Central America
and the Andes of South America.
They use traditional hand-craft-

(panpipes), the marimba (xylo-
phone), the guitarron (bass guitar)
and the bombo (drum). This year
they have added pre-Columbian
music to their repertoire, playing
Aztec drums and flutes. In addi-
tion to the Oktoberfest, KATARI

some mouth-watering Oktoberfest
fare: bratwurst, Italian sausage
and Polish kielbasa, sauerkraut
and German potato salad; and

hamburgers, tacos, chicken wings
and french fries. Milford's own
Karl Thomas will bake his popu-
lar German apple streusel and
German bread.
