A Thank You from the Oktoberfest Chairperson

Hello everyone!

We have had a little time to rest and reflect on one of the best Oktoberfests at the Liederkranz on record. When running a fest of this size there are always challenges, some good, some bad, but together we can get through all of them. Staying focused on our mission is the key to success. Every year we have the opportunity to get a little better. We have a great passionate group of folks leading the fest. The Oktoberfest committee did a great job this year. For the first time in a long time, we had great sponsors. Finally, Volunteers, we cannot have the fest without your participation. The heart and soul of the fest are you all. A warm thanks to all who have participated in giving the Liederkranz the opportunity to share some good food, good beer, and a rich culture. Perpetuating and sharing that culture is after all, the ultimate goal. 

So, now we begin to plan and strategize for next year's fest. More challenges lie ahead but together, we will be more successful than this fest. We are after all better together. 

My heartfelt thanks for you all and I'm looking forward to Oktoberfest 2024!

Karl Allmendinger - Chairman
