Oktoberfest - Torrington (2023)
Note, was written in August 2024 to recreate a post which was lost, and we want to reference it in our upcoming celebratory post in September of 2024. Although our Oktoberfest experiences only go back a few years, so much of the true experience is still going to be lost. Old computer(s), Google Drive, Facebook, etc. were all searched for context, but not much was able to be recovered. We will try to add some details, but as our memories have faded, this may well be all that we have left of that moment in time.

…and we’re back again at the annual Torrington Oktoberfest held in the lovely renovated in Franklin Plaza. This go around we noticed that they moved the bandstand all the way to the other end, maybe to have it away from the main intersection downtown?
This year I am wearing my new lederhosen. The first one I bought the year before was too tight… and this one is too big. Thankfully, the suspenders hold it up!
I believe the song ‘we’ were singing in the following collage was Ein Prosit, a classic.
