Oktoberfest
2 Final Score |
| And you thought that the Saints had a good record!
Isidore and Lili threatened, but the German spirit of fun and festivity prevailed and all
five weekends of Oktoberfest 2002 took place, proving that there wasn't a hurricane or
tropical storm that could drown out this party. The final figures weren't available at
publication time, but the crowds have been large and enthusiastic for this year's
festival. Repeat visitors and first-time festers spent their October weekends eating,
singing, dancing, toasting and enjoying our Deutsches Haus brand of hospitality. Special
thanks again go out to all of the volunteers that spent countless hours making Oktoberfest
a success! Pictures

GHFA Oktoberfest
Parade Recap
April Robinson The morning began at the Deutsches Haus with German church services conducted by Pastor Heinz Neuman. After that, neither the threat of inclement weather, road construction on Canal Street, nor a Saints home game could deter the spirits of this year's Oktoberfest parade participants. With the U.S. Marine Corps Band in the lead, followed by Grand Marshal Gordon Nick Mueller and this year's royalty, Prince Eric Paul Coles and Princess Anne-Louise Sun Juttner, the 16th annual parade rolled through the streets of the Warehouse District, the French Quarter and downtown on Sunday, October 6th. Floats representing the German Heritage Festival Association, the Deutsches Haus, the German-American Cultural Center, the German Heritage Cultural and Genealogical Society of Louisiana and others threw stuffed animals, German-themed wooden nickels, prized medallion beads and Bavarian blue and white specialty beads to the crowds of locals and tourists. The parade rolled with a surprise or two (a couple of "no-show" bands and marching units), but GHFA president Keith Oldendorf believed "overall everything went really well." Storm clouds threatened, but the rain held off until the end of the route when Oldendorf said "it was a welcome relief for a warm day." The after-party at the Deutsches Haus boasted record attendance numbers, welcome food and drink and the swinging sounds of Rocky's Hot Fox Trot Orchestra. Grand Marshal Mueller and Oldendorf tapped the ceremonial keg, celebrating yet another successful parade run. Pictures
