Itinerant Air-Cooled

I've been toying with the idea of going for years but somehow always forget until a week before it happens. Anyone interested in heading down?

I remembered early this year. =)

Failing that, there's one closer at Oaks Park .. http://oakspark.com/oktoberfest.html

Suuureeee, sounds like a hoot! :D

Looks like fun!

They're on different weekends -- we could even do both. =D

Plum fogot all about the beer fest. Went to the Gypsy fest at Sellwood park.

That's OK, Kirk .. the "beer fests" are next month. Yes, Oktoberfest is in September...

Gonna get out the lederhosen?

..anyone?

Dates? I'm too lazy.

Mt Angel is Sept 12-15; Silver Falls campground looks to be booked solid for that weekend .. wonder why? Day passes are $7-9 and apparently get you into everything. Oaks Park is Sept 20-22nd, we can go home & sleep it off in our own beds, and costs $3 at the gate.

Either way, beer and food are "extra".

Sooo, what exactly do we get with the entry fee?

Is it like a cover charge at the local strip joint?

Mt. Angel has a lot of free stuff, but charge for entry to the Biergarten, Weingarten and Alpinegarten .. which is of course where the beer is. Oaks Park .. it's like admission to the fair or Disneyland...

There use to be a guy who rented out spots in his field for camping in Mt. Angel. It was only a few bucks and within walking distance to the festivities. Perfect for stumbling back to the bus. This was several years ago so who knows what the situation is now.

is anyone following up on camping? looks like we are in fri sat sun or sat sun

Got the info about camping I will make calls Tuesday let the form know if your camping? I will see if we can get sites for the group if you want.

keep us posted.
