Hazzahhh! Another Oktoberfest festival finished!  To most people it’s a “thank goodness that’s over” kind of moment.  For an event planner though, it’s a bittersweet one.  All the planning and the effort that went into it over months and months and then in just one night it is all over.  The good thing is, that means its time to start planning next year’s! 

Flagstaff Oktoberfest means more to me than any other festival probably ever will.  When I started with the company about three years ago Oktoberfest was only it its’ second year.  I remember being stationed at the information tent and pretty much observed from afar and answered questions from attendees.  Now after being graduated from NAU I have officially gone from intern to Peak Event staff. 

Being able to see the festival grow and surpass goal after goal, and challenge after challenge, makes me very proud to be part of such an awesome team.  This year was filled with so much laughter, music, fun and good weather but by far the best part was the community excitement!  I’d like to make a shout out to Flagstaff residents and NAU students for supporting the event and making it bigger and better every year!  I look forward to next year and can’t wait to see what we come up with!
