We grabbed a some of brats and beers…



A new feature this year was the Glockenspiel Tower where every hour of OktoberFest
was welcomed with dancing girls, a toast and a ringing of the Glockenspiel Tower Bell…




Then we watched the Brat-Eating Contest…

Featuring World Eating Champion, Joey Chestnut…








Joey Chestnut eneded up winning the Brat-Eating Contest after a one minute eat-off!
He ate 32 brats in 10 minutes and then 5 more in the eat-off. 37 brats in 11 minutes!


And then Joey Chestnut rang in the new hour of OktoberFest on the Glockenspiel Tower.


Now, on with the OktoberFesting…





We stopped to listen to The Bierband.


And then this happened…

So good, so good, so good! 🙂

We hung out at OktoberFest until it started to get dark. And with the darkness came
a wicked fierce wind that would chill us to the bone. We decided to call it a night and
go home to watch the Michigan-Notre Dame game. What we should have done was
put on some long pants and a sweatshirt and head back down to OktoberFest. Ye-ah.
Go BLUE.

Southern Tier Pumking. The good stuff!
