It's Here, It's Here!!! I can hardly believe that it is finally here! Happy Oktobeerfest everyone!!! Since we are having Oktoberfest I thought I would share with you a few facts about Oktoberfest.
Oktoberfest is a 16 day festival in Munich, Bavaria, Germany and it has been held since 1810. It was originally a celebration of the marriage of the Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, it was a five day festival that ended with a horse race. Oktoberfest did not take place during either World War. Since 1950 the Oktoberfest Celebration opens with the tapping of the first keg. It is estimated that during the modern day Oktoberfest that 6,940,600 liters of beer is consumed, and approximately 1800 porta pottys are on hand.... EWE stinky privies. In 2010 it will be the 200 year Anniversary of Oktoberfest... Are you in???
Brats, Beer and Polka here we come!! I am not kidding we have found Polka music and of course Germany's favorite son, David Hasselhoff, will be on hand for a listen to. I also have Nena, Falco and The Scorpions. All Good German music performers.
Bring an empty belly and I have a cup for your beer!! See you at the FEST!
