the lively sound of German ‘Oom-pah’ accompanied by dancing waitresses dressed in Dirndl

performances by local band, In Contro with its powerful renditions of Rock and Roll classics and Top

walkers such as the defaced towering Rapunzel, a creepy Red Riding Hood and ghastly zombies
who roamed the streets that night. Official sponsor Cider Somersby built an Apple Graveyard with
creepy interactive farms. In addition, lucky radio listeners joined MediaCorp Class 95FM DJs Jean

joints.
