Post a CommentThis sounds like fun. I love Oktoberfest and Pennsylvania appears to be full of them. Closer to home for me is the Bavarian Oktoberfest in Canonsburg, PA.

Cools!
Nice local piece.
I was living in Bavaria in 1976, and that year I went with a group of friends to the Oktoberfest in Munich. I had a cold coming on when I went, but a couple of liters of good beer, spread out over the day, killed any nasty germs in my system, and I was cured!
Sounds like lots of fun!
