The tradition of Oktoberfest began Oct. 12, 1810, when Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria invited the residents of Munich to celebrate his marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The public gathered outside the city gates in a large meadow, christened the Theresienwiese in honor of the princess, and enjoyed five days of dancing, eating, shooting and drinking. An enormous horse race ended the party.<\/p>\n

The festivities were such fun that it was agreed to stage the horse race \u2014 as well as the other festivities \u2014 the next year, and Oktoberfest was born.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I made my single visit to Oktoberfest in 1985 I remember I hung out with Tommy Colburn (who occasionally visits here at TAH) and all I remember is that the following morning, the white polo shirt I wore that day had a big footprint on my chest area. As I understand it, Tommy and I had an altercation with three Turks over a contentious bumper car episode.<\/p>\n

Yay, beer!<\/p>\n
