Review:
I always look forward to labor day specifically because of the Oktoberfest. This year is no different. The warm weather brought out big crowds on Saturday 8/31/13. The Glokenspiel was mobbed at every hour with happy beer drinkers looking to grab flying trinkets and t-shirts. This year the new attraction was a t-shirt gun that propelled the sought after clothing far into the back of the crowd. Sadly, our entourage walked away with only a few necklaces, but it was entertaining none the less. Rumor has it that the Glokenspiel trucks in over 1 ton of plastic gimmicks to give away through out the weekend.
The beer always goes down way to quickly in the hot sun so the lines tended to be long at the beer stands,but if you weren’t picky about your beverage we could find open stands to quench our thirsts.
The kids had a blast jumping in all the inflatables. However after several Sam Adam’s Oktoberfests I found it best to not watch them too closely so as not to get a bit seasick.
I highly recommend this experience. Here’s looking forward to 2014!
