Meet your 2016 Festmeister and Festscheister!
What’s a Festmeister, you ask? The Festmeister presides over the Oktoberfest event and well, the Festscheister…kinna speaks for itself, doesn’t it?!
Al Hildebrandt (right) will preside over this year’s Oktoberfest as the official Festmeister! Gates for Oktoberfest cannot open until the Festmeister declares it so!
Jim Henry (left) will be creating all kinds of shenanigans as the official Festscheister! Keep an eye on him…you never know what kind of trouble he’ll kick up!
