Things I do when I am not writing Blog Entries09/27/2005 07:16 PM
Category : None
Location : Columbus, Ohio, USA
I am the treasurer of the Germania
Society which hold the oldest
and most authentic Oktoberfest in Southwestern Ohio. It is in late
August which was chosen so it would be before the kids went back to school
or so we could get it over with and then enjoy the other festivals throughout
the fall...
I am a member of the Greater
Cincinnati Blues Society. We
did a little fund raiser for the Katrina Storm victims at Germania Park
which I helped run.
Downtown Cincinnati has a little Oktoberfest
(about 200K people attend). Germania has a booth there called the
Germania Schnitzel Haus. Since I did not get to any of the real work
at our Oktoberfest (as treasurer all I do is count the results of other
peoples work) I decided to volunteer to run the booth downtown.
then there are a couple of Pig Roasts
that I help out at...
All of this (except the Blues Society
benefit) were in place before I took a real job 120 miles from home. Alas,
even before that I was not a very good blogger. Now... well I am
headed to Florida for Rob and Liz's wedding.
