I've been a fan of Oktoberfest since I went to Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany in 1994. I still have memories of meeting people, eating and drinking beer. I sat in the Augustiner beer tent. Fast forward to today. There are several Oktoberfest celebrations in the Valley: Phoenix and Tempe are the biggest. This year, just went to one: 13^th Annual Peoria. Very short drive from my house. It wasn't very crowded. Has good food and beer. Entertainment included a band and dancers. Stuff for kids to do. It was a very nice evening. Overall a great Friday night.
