Enjoyed the rodeo front row seat from the new VIP building. Friendly hosts.
My friends and I had a great time. There was a wide variety of German craft biers with full body and great flavour. If I could make some recommendations though, it is a rodeo but since it is modeled after Oktoberfest I believe that making the German theme a bit more apparent, or encourage it more, would make the "feel" more like a bier fest and less like a country-western dance. The feel overall came off more like a mini-Stampede than Oktoberfest. That being said, I would definitely attend again, but I would like to see them move more towards a true Oktoberfest theme; German foods[pork hawk, pork belly w/ sauerkraut, giant pretzels w/ beer cheese], less country music, staff/volunteers in actual lederhosen instead of t-shirts, and more decorations/events [fake wood tablecloths, "Best Lederhosen" Competition, etc.].
Pretty expensive - $45 even though I entered after the rodeo and first performance. Couldn't get information from any staff about what I'd just paid $45 for and why I was being sent out and down the road. Seemed I could have paid less if I went straight to the cow palace, but didn't see any information about that prior to the event on the website. The bar was messy. Whole event needs more organisation and better information distribution.
Good music good food great people awesome fun....
Had a blast!
