After living in La Crosse since 1992 I have been around
Oktoberfest for 20 years, participating in the parade many, many times over
those years, watching it multiple times and always amazed at the amount of
people who come out of the wood work to watch and cheer. I drove the long way to work yesterday
morning to see if there were people lined up on Copeland Park and there were,
ok, I understand that the parade is fun and a party in its self but aren’t
there things going on, such as life? Do
people take vacation to go stake their claim of park land or boulevard for a 5
hour parade? I have never staked my
claim to city property for parade watching, I am more of a floater. On the years when I didn’t ride in the parade
I would start in one area, and kind of party hop. I hope that this years parade is more manageable
in time than some of the years when it ended up being a 5 plus hour
parade. Here is to a safe, fun, trouble
free Oktoberfest. Gemütlichkeit, Ein
Prosit and Old McDonald has a farm, ummm I mean EiEiEio…have a great fest.
