Oatmeal Festival

Oatmeal breakfast, run for your oats, barbeque dinner and program, trail ride, parade, arts and crafts, games, entertainment, food, square dance and cloggers. Begun in 1977 as a good-natured attempt to put neighboring Oatmeal back on the map after state map-makers ignored the tiny neighboring community, the festival has evolved into one of the wackiest, most imaginative small-town festivals anywhere. As always, it will actually "rain" oatmeal during the parade! (Watch out for Commander Caraway and the Oatmeal Air Force). Each year visitors come from far and wide, appreciating Bertram's sense of humor and their small town pride and friendliness.
