CDS Anniversary Party and Oktoberfest Planning

Post by Rose Springvale »

The CDS 4th Anniversary coincides with the official opening of Oktoberfest in Germany on Saturday, September 20, 2008. We have some great ideas kicking around for this year, and need your input and help! We'll hold two organization meetings next week at times conducive to different parts of the world, probably on Thursday at 2 slt and 7 slt.

In the meantime, I thought I'd open this thread for comments.. what would you like to see on the meeting agenda? What did you like/dislike about Oktoberfest and other celebrations in the past? Are there things you'd like to see incorporated that haven't been? This is the place to let us know! You are also more than welcome to talk to me in world, or drop a notecard, or email rose.springvale at gmail.com.

This is a real celebration for our community, and there is a place for everyone to participate. And merchants, be thinking about what you'd like to sell in the market... the more in theme the better!

Agenda for Oktoberfest/Anniversary Task force:

A. Anniversary Party:
1. Mundus ceremony? (My preference is to do this separately, on or about Sept 1 and let LA have its own "birthday")
2. Anthem
3. Flag dedication
4. Commencement of Oktoberfest
-fair
-street market
-ceremonial Keg tapping
-schlager music.

Questions:
- Do we want to have stalls again? Terms for stalls?
- Festival musicians. VERY popular last year, who is available, cost.
- Biergarten afternoons. CDS staffed?
- Carnival? Altenstadt? Kissing booth, dunking booth?
- Guided tour rides. Yes. It will be done.
- Sporting events: Triathalon, Soccer.
