    I am sure you have all heard of Octoberfest one of the most popular events in Ontario at this time of year. I have been to Kitchener but never been to the event. I know people who have been and they rave about it. Have you been and what did you like about it?

    I have never been to the real thing but I was at a police conference in Kitchener where they staged a great replica for the delegates and their wives and girlfriends. Real Oom Pah Pah band in Lederhosen and serving maids in costume, Everyone danced and drank lots of beer from steins and ate German weiners. Great fun!

    Octoberfest is a big thing amongst the German community here and celebrated by all of the city as well. I've never been at it, but the word is that it is a very fun time! In Winnipeg , we have a Cultural Celebration each August, that celebrates all of the cultures in Winnipeg, noted as ....."FOLKLORAMA". There are many pavilions in our city celebrating each culture, with traditional food and dance as well as showcasing the crafts and life-styles of the different nationalities and cultures. Then....comes Octoberfest!!!....
    and then we're betwixt and between Thanksgiving and Halloween...and then.....it's into the Christmas Season! So much going on..in such a short season!

    Hmmmm....soon after Christmas and NewYears..and into February.....the Festival du Voyageur.....overtakes our city...and once again, our city is in the celebration spirit!
    And soooooo.....the citizens huff and puff....attempting to keep up to the goings on! Very Happy
