The parade followed with opening ceremonies with a recognition of the West Alexandria Citizen of the Year and crowning of Oktoberfest royalty at Peace Park Saturday.
Bedell also received a signed and sealed proclamation from the mayor of West Alexandria declaring October 13 "John Bedell Day" in the village.
Hey, look at that! A signed and sealed proclamation from the mayor of #WestAlex declaring it “John Bedell Day” in the village. How cool! What an honor to get this after serving as Grand Marshall in the West Alex #Oktoberfest parade. @whiotv @WHIORadio pic.twitter.com/ZN2h5SLyFZ
