Oktoberfest is Here!

The two sections that I added yesterday were travel and haunted houses.  Today’s addition relates to Oktoberfest.  Since it could go in either festivals or travel, I decided to put it in its own section.  It’s big enough to warrant it.  Six million people attended in Munich last year.  And millions more celebrated outside Munich.

I’ve been wondering recently how many people attended the first Oktoberfest in 1810.  Was it similar to the hype surrounding the Prince William and Catherine Middleton marriage in 2011?  Or the Barack Obama Presidential Oath of Office ceremony in Washington D.C.?  Or was it a tiny event that has grown in size and popularity over the years?

The launch of Funtober will only be celebrated by me, my family, and a few of my closest friends.  But that’s just fine.  I’m positive that we’ll have more fun in October because I took the time to put this together.  And that’s all I really care about anyway.  If other people find it valuable too, that’s just icing on the cake.
