Octoberfest porta potties!

I was told by a pretty reliable source that the toliets at Octoberfest are going to placed outside the permited area and that if you take your beer to the toliets with you, you will get a open container ticket. Has anyone else heard this? If this is true this is a sad deal. I was told it wasn't going to be marked that way it was just going to be a surprise to all who crossed the line.

i think that's the best idea they could come up w/...i'm all for oktoberfest but damn, come on all it is anymore is a huge drunk fest & ppl do the most stupid things during this wkend...i hope whoever goes is careful

Thats a stupid idea what are people supposed to do? Hold it all day?

Pee in the creek.

Wear a Diaper.

They're going to be alot of people running around who pissed themselves.

Finish the beer. Walk 100 feet to the port-a-potties. Rinse and repeat.
If you can't let go of a beer long enough to pee...

ok seriously if you can't go to the restroom w/out ur drink, there is some issues...it's just like chics going 2 the restroom 2gether @ the bar...never have figured that out...all i ever did was use the restroom...when i was underage it was the time i mastered chugging ur drink while pissing...lol lol

I think the issue is that the PD might have this planned so that they might snag a few people with open containers- without warning the people... If its true they'll get a couple who go to the potties early in the day and word will travel fast. Some will be to drunk to remember and those who choose to pee in the creek are likely going to get UIPs if they get caught. None of it bothers me as I won't be there... I just hope that the drunks don't drive!

Wasn't it last Octoberfest when there was a man that was hit by a train?

Yes.

Oops, didn't mean to hijack the thread, my bad.

yeah he was a retired professor from fhsu...he thought he could beat the train while he was walking & didn't make it...he was just out for a walk that day

I remember that from last year. I got ready to go, the hubby left for work. I heard the train and thought he might have to wait for it to get across the tracks to where he was going. I got on the old 67601 site and read Nitro's post about the train accident. Then I walked up to the park. That was really sad though.

The rumor/story that i heard was that his wife had died three years prior to this incident,and at the time of this tragedy he had been battling derpression and was tired of being alone. the question in my mind is, was it an accident or was it deliberate? Wouldn't you think if the crossing bars were down and yet he still attempted to cross,couldn't this
have possibly been intentional? I don't know if this is fact or rumor but it's what I heard.
It's still sad, regardless.

Thats the same thing I had heard also, and yes it is sad.

It wasn't at the crossing,it was up a little bit west I do believe.I was down there also at the time.Tragic.

Whoever is going, be safe.

Id like to go but Im willing to bet I don't. I dont think I will have the energy. I'm still pretty much useless.

Just had this confirmed that this was a rumour. And is it just me or did this years Octoberfest seem relatively tame compared to previous years?

The after fest parties were very quiet in my neighborhood.

Around here as well. Odd this is.

Maybe because it's SEPTEMBER!!! When did Hays start having Oktoberfest in September? It's messed up my equilibrium.

Most of them are in September. Rarely does it happen in October.

Local organizations have worked hand in hand with the police department, FHSU, and various campus organizations to create a more acceptable environment. Many FHSU social organizations are applying peer pressure to improve the perception people have of the student body. It does seem to be working.

Thats why the student body is dwindling away.

And they just announced that they topped 10,000 enrollees for the first time.

4000 on campus,the rest online students

I have talked to a few people and they said that there aren't as many students attending Oktoberfest like there use to be. I think a alot of this is partly due to the fact that the Volga Germans broke away and started their own Oktoberfest before FHSU does their's. There is also so much more security there now so not anyone can walk in there and get a beer like the use to and that has scared off all underage students.

Then, is the chopper necessary?

Is it a KHP chopper?

Does Hays get billed?

KHP is required to have a certain amount of night time training hours. I don't believe the City has to pay for this service.........yet

That's the way I understand it also.

It was very tame and kinda boring!
