Weekend 1 Highlights
10/21/15!
Kicking things off early this year, the Friday celebration began at noon and continued into the night
with authentic polka music, the opening ceremonies and the first official Stein Lift of Vail Oktoberfest.
Additional entertainment was the Official Hacker-Pschorr drinking of the Das Boot ceremony highlighting
the history of Oktoberfest and that the name Hacker-Pschorr stands for a Munich brew tradition crafted
over centuries, and acclaimed far beyond the borders of Bavaria throughout the entire world. The
announcer was able to also use this time to mention that Hacker-Pschorr has been doing business in a
sustainable manner combined with courage and innovation, that is “the heaven of the Bavarians,” a
Hacker-Pschorr tradition since 1417.
The weekend continued with plenty of sunshine, Bavarian dancers, oom-pah music, Laughing Bones taking
the stage on Friday night and Saturday night’s entertainment included a complimentary concert from The
Altitones.

Additional Event Elements
Adult Keg Bowling Contest:
Up to twenty contestants each Saturday and Sunday of Oktoberfest were given the
chance to hurl a keg shell on wheels down the lane at a pyramid of keg shells
with the intention of bringing down the pile. It’s not as easy at it seems. The
champion of the day was awarded with a great package from Hacker-Pschorr
including a Hacker-Pschorr L branded boot or stein, $40 in Oktoberfest tokens and
a Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest themed shirt and a Hacker-Pschorr Bavarian hat. All
contestants received a complimentary beer from Hacker-Pschorr.

Klement’s Bratwurst Eating Contest
The strong-willed and the strong-stomached battled it out to see who could
down the most brats in two minutes. The competitor who wolfed down the most
brats in the allotted time won a keg-a-que from Klement’s Sausage Company as
well as a Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest stein with $40 in Oktoberfest tokens. The

Additional Event Elements
Stein Lifting Competition
The Stein Lift Contests opened and closed the event each weekend. This crowd-
favorite tested the arm strength and stamina of even the fiercest competitors.
Competitors held a FULL 1L beer stein out from their body at shoulder level.
The last person standing with arm outstretched took home the Oktoberfest
prize package. Participants in the Stein Lift Contest had to be at least 21 years of
age and there were both male and female categories.
