Happy Thanksgiving Fellow Oktoberfestians

 I'm thankful for all the good times and fun all of us have had attending Oktoberfest over the last 26 years. 

Wow! Has it been that long?!

We have a solution to all our problems!


We have all dreamed of this.  Eat a bretzel,  get a beer.

His body was brewing beer.

Anyone concerned about.......


A shower head? A set of teeth?

How do you lose these and not know it?

Back in the U.S ... Back in the U.S

Back in the U S of A.

While the Rangs continued their sojourn to Salzburg, the Vozel contingent is almost home. Waiting on flight delay to Cincy.

A great time was had by most, and as usual, there are some classic "not for export" stories. Wish everyone else could have made the trip.

Father/Daughter Oktoberfest is Underway

Chugger/Traci along with Flying Dan/Allison have begun their separate travels to the land of the Golden Nectar. We will all meet up in about 10 hours to begin our unique and memorable excursion.

The trip will be different without some of you, and we wish you could have attended. Nonetheless, a bier will be consumed in your honor.

Prost!
