This is still in the early panning stages, but the Denton Chapter of the UNT Alumni Association is planning an Oktoberfest event on Sept. 15th at the UNT ALUMNI PAVILION at Apogee!
It will be a scholarship fund-raiser event for UNT students.
Yes, we know that is the date of the away game at K-State....YES, the Pavilion is equiped with big screen TV's.
Mark it down folks...more info to follow as it becomes available...but Oktoberfest beer and brats at the Pavilion on Sept. 15th. Break out those lederhosen now and get them ready!

That is a great idea.

We have our Om-Pah band set...all UNT students so we are keeping it in-house. They sound great and should add a ton of atmosphere and fun. So far, I am contacting:
Armadillo Ale Works-Denton
St. Arnold's - Houston
Rahr - Ft. Worth and
Franconia - McKinney
To see if they would like to participate in the "Beer Tasting" OKTOBERFEST EVENT. So, date, facility and band all set. Stand by for future updates on such things as beer success and times/ticket prices. SAVE THE DATE FOLKS. You really will not want to miss out on the fun.

Update. We have made initial contact with all the breweries we mentioned earlier...all have shown some initial interest in being part of this event. However, much to be done before we can announce any "sure things". But, OKTOBERFEST AT THE PAVILION IS ON!
Mark your calendars to attend and have a great time on September 15th!

UPDATE: At this point it looks like both Armadillo Ale Works (local start-up Denton Brewery) and St. Arnold's out of Austin, Texas will be joining us for our OKTOBERFEST BEER TASTING.
So, as of now we have two great breweries coming to share their beers with us on the 15th. Still chatting with others...
SAVE THE DATE FOLKS! This is going to be fun!

One of the guys involved with Deep Ellum actually lives in Denton and I bet would love to be involved. If you need any contact info etc OSDH&CP could help you.

Funny...OKTOBERFEST is NEVER in October!!!! Check out the Oktoberfest celebration in Munich, Germany and you will see it is a month-long celebration of the wedding of a Bavarian King in 1810. It starts in September and ends the first Sunday October...September is the official OKTOBERFEST month...in fact, even Addison who has a great OKTOBERFEST event each year reflects Sept. 20-23 as this year's dates. Come to the Sept. 15th OKTOBERFEST at the UNT Alumni Pavilion and we'll even tell the story of Oktoberfest to the attendees...between beer tastings that is! And, before they taste too much...want them to still be able to hear and compute! Ha!
