Aid station downtown to help ‘festers

In Subway parking lot until 3 a.m. Saturday

Once again this year, one of the most popular corners in downtown La Crosse during Oktoberfest may be 3rd and Pearl.  

That’s where the Third Street aid station will be through 3 a.m. Sunday morning. 

This is the ninth year that city police and local businesses are working together to run a trailer in the Subway parking lot during the fest.  

Hundreds of people have brought their cellphones to the aid station to be recharged. The trailer is also a place to make phone calls, get a late-night snack or arrange to meet your friends.
