Today the 174th Oktoberfest, the world’s largest Folks Festival, started with the traditional tapping of the first key by Munich mayor Christian Ude. This year it took him 3 hits, his record is two. When the mayor proclaims O’zapft is! (It’s tapped!) the Oktoberfest has official begun. (Click on the link to watch this years opening. Real player will open.)
Oktoberfest
Where in the world is Bryan Coe
This weekend is going to be a busy one. Where you can you find me?
Friday: A group of us are heading to Liederkranz in Lancaster to the Oktoberfest. A far cry from the real deal in Munich, but it should be fun.
Saturday: It’s off to NYC for the Steuben Parade. It’s a celebration of Germans in the USA. Don’t know who Steuben is?
Sunday: It’s back to the Liederkranz with my German group Netzwerk Central PA
Then Sunday night I have an open mens indoor game at Lanco. Field House.
See if you can spot me! 😉
