Perhaps it was better at Spanish Springs but the Oktoberfest Celebration at LSL this year was pretty poor in my mind. Maybe others have some ideas on how the event (and other ethnic celebrations) can be improved next year.
- get vendors to offer a better variety of ethnic food (there were just 2 vendors with anything remotely German and they both offered Bratwurst) and sauerkraut
- how about schnitzel, currywurst, Schwenkbraten (German pork steaks), kase spaetzle, ****offelbrei (mashed potatoes), and Rote Grütze
- hand out words to the favorite German drinking songs and cheers
- on cooler days, Glühwein would be a big hit
- sell a small glass on a strap that goes around your neck and hold a Wein probieren where people get to taste a different wine (at no additional cost) at each corner of the square
- polka dancing instruction
Food for thought...
When is Octoberfest this year.......and where???
