OKTOBERFEST

THE HIGHLIGHT OF OKTOBERFEST IS THE MAPLE LEAF PARADE ON SATURDAY. IT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE CALLED A PARADE, BECAUSE IT MORE OF AN "EVENT".

FOR MANY THE EVENT STARTS 24 HOURS BEFORE AS THEY STEAK OUT THEIR TERRITORY CURBSIDE TO WATCH THE PARADE. IT'S A CAT & MOUSE GAME AS THE POLICE PICK UP UNATTENDED CHAIRS AND TARPS UNLESS SOMEONE IS PHYSICALLY THERE.

THERE'S AN OLE SAYING, "YOU CAN'T DRINK ALL DAY, UNLESS YOU START IN THE MORNING."

DID YOU CHECK THE CLOCK ON THE WALL BEHIND ME? THAT'S AM, SO IT'S SAFE TO SAY I DRANK ALL DAY !!

THE PARADE STARTS AT 10 AM AND GOES ON...... AND ON...... INTO THE AFTERNOON.

PRETTY TYPICAL PARADE PICTURES, SO I LEFT MY CAMERA IN MY POCKET AND CONCENTRATED ON THE BRATS AND BEERS .......
