Oktoberfest was definitely something to remember! Going into this event seemed a lot more smooth and a lot easier than the Blues and Brews event I was a part of this past summer. Maybe that’s because I’m finally getting the hang of things, or it’s just an easier event, but either way I still had a great time being a part of it! After setting up and seeing everything come together for another big event, it’s easier for me to think of what needs to happen to put an event like this together, whether it’s getting sponsors, prizes, a space for the event, advertising, etc. I worked merchandise and it was great to see how enthusiastic all of the attendees were about the event and how much they were looking forward to it! My tent was also located right next to the stage so I was able to watch how all of the contests came together and personally interact with the bands that played. Overall I thought it was a great event, and I can’t wait to help put together the next one!
