Happy Birthday Aussiemeg!
Dd just started working at a paint your own pillow, canvas,tote bag or wooden sign and it was family night. My oldest dd and I went. It was a lot of fun. You can bring alcohol and they have snacks. We didn't eat. So I made frozen pierogies and had handfuls of pepitas and cranberries after.

I ended up making meat loaf, mashed potatoes, and steamed mixed veggies. Big hit with the boys. Tomorrow is a busy day, so if I don't check in, dinner will be leftovers from last night or tonight or both.

sueg , I love your descriptions of Oktoberfest, both the food and the bench dancing. ve I love Oktoberfest, even though I am not a huge beer drinker. Yes, all the added people in town can be annoying, especially as I travel by public transport a lot, but the buzz is fantastic. Contrary to what many people outside Germany think, it's not just about the beer. Every 4 years there is an Agricultural Show associated with the fest, and in the other 3 years they have an Historical Wiesn section, with older rides and displays of photos and artifacts from the past 200 years. There are also all the elements of a fair or carnival - sideshows, rides, junk food and tacky souvenirs! I am planning a couple more visits between now and the end on October 3. I will head down for lunch and a few rides one day, and for dinner and night photos another day. Both will be weekdays - weekends are too hectic, especially this weekend, known here as 'Italian Weekend' due to the numbers who drive up from Italy. They even send Italian Police to help out the local force!
