It's actually a pretty cool town but it just reminds me of a tacky tourist trap. Every year they host Oktoberfest the first three weekends in October and Matt, Amy, and I hit it up the first weekend. It was a pretty sweet shin-dig but a bit on the pricey side.
There were 4 stages for shows that had classic polka music, massacred polka music, and classic German dances from some groups straight out of Munich, Germany! It was actually a pretty cool shin-dig. It wasn't anything big, but did have quite a few people. The area of town that's sectioned off has most of a street right off of downtown and is big enough to pack in some serious crowds. It was pretty full while we were there, but from what I've heard the last weekend has the most people and is shoulder to shoulder for blocks! Kind of glad I had no part in that.
For next year we're coming up with some classic German garb to fully partake in festivities. There were surprisingly a lot of people that were dressed up and even quite a few older people that looked like they were straight out of Germany.
Anyways, I'm keeping this one short and sweet. The festivities were pretty sweet, and I'm actually looking forward to next year. Plus it'll be right after I'm done with triathlon season. Hot dang!
