September 27, 2009 — Next weekend is the annual Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg, Texas. This area of central Texas has a strong German heritage and this annual festival like most Oktoberfest celebrations is a real hoot (that's Texican for a lot of fun)! Unfortunately I have not been to this Oktoberfest in quite some time, but I am going to remedy that situation next Saturday. Wanda and I and my adopted niece are headed that way and really looking forward to it.
There are all sorts of good things going on. There are wonderful arts and craft booths, lots of good food, lots of good German beer, and then there is the entertainment. My favorite group from years ago was "Oma and the Oompahs" and they played the greatest German music. Now how can you miss with a band name like that. I was happy to see that Oma and her gang will be playing Saturday afternoon so I will get to see them again and introduce Wanda and my niece to this really good stuff.
The people of this area of Texas are some of the most friendly you will meet anywhere. I guess Fredericksburg has a population of approximately 9000 and they really know how to celebrate Oktoberfest. The entire community gets into this and people come from all over the world literally to enjoy the hospitality. Here is a link to the Oktoberfest web site http://www.oktoberfestinfbg.com/. Take a look and you will see what I am yaking about here.
So instead of sittin' at home watchin' the dog scratch her fleas or chasing the cat we will be headin' for Fredericksburg and a really good time...it's what really matters!
