I can’t believe that we are planning the 8th annual Flagstaff Oktoberfest. 8 years… WOW! Time flies! I remember our first Oktoberfest. I wasn’t a part of Peak Events at the time, just helping my mom out like I always did. She pulled it off all by herself and having not done it before or having a blue print – she rocked it! Bands, beer, tents, food, volunteers she did it all. The event looked amazing! I still don’t remember how she set it all up or how everything came together. I helped the day of, huddling in Brenda’s food truck because it was cold, serving beer alongside Christopher (who is now our EMCEE) and my boyfriend at the time. It was snowing… cold… and yet people came out to see what the heck we were doing in Wheeler Park… well the parking lot! After that event and with the economy we took a year off. So we came back in 2010 with a MUCH bigger and better weather event. We moved from the parking lot to the actual park… and man we had a great turnout. We have added something new every year since… so I am asking you… what should be do this year? We’ve added the stuff the bug contest, the brat eating contest, the frozen T-shirt contest and the Beer Stain Holding Contest. What should we do for 2016?
