Welcome to Oktoberfest Show 2012

This year will be our 4th Annual Oktoberfest Show in Big Bear Lake, CA. Presented by fifteen52 & HRE Wheels. It's open to all makes and models. Year after year we have grown in attendance and doubled in size. Attending our event will consist of an epic drive up the Rim of World Hwy and upon entering the town you will be greeted by hand carved wooded bears in every size. The relaxed and chilled atmosphere is like no other, it's a vacation from other car show events. It's a time to reflect our year and enjoy our cars one last time before the SEMA rush and the family oriented holiday season.

We have one location, one hotel and one purpose. Drive to Northwoods Resort, park your car and party all weekend long in the spirit of Oktoberfest!

WHY IS IT SO AFFORDABLE?

To keep our cost down, we always support the venue. The more money the venue makes, the less upfront cost we pay. Which we pass along the savings to you. This year, Northwoods Resort asking us to prepay one week in advance a head count for Friday Night's dinner. If you are staying at the Host Hotel, this is a must! By prepaying, help us get us access to the ballroom for both Friday and Saturday night, just present your Official Oktoberfest 2012 Silicone Wristband at the door. We will provide the entertainment. But please support our event by purchasing food & drinks at Northwoods Resort. A single Friday Night dinner meal ticket will include:

(1) Hamburger or Veggie Burger
(1) Potato Salad
(1) Bag of Chips
(1) Cookie
(1) Soft Drink

MESSAGE

Our goal for Oktoberfest is to take over and to #OccupyBigBear. Our dream is to look outside your room and see a modified car. Everywhere you turn, you see a car rolling down the street, parking, getting gas, etc. We would rather see a modified car in it's natural environment rather than being parking. So drive around town and enjoy the weather and atmostsphere.

We can't wait to see everyone again! New faces and old faces!

Please help spread the word and invite your friends!

You can show them this too.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

• We got a lot of fun stuff planned. It's a lot more fun when we all participate. People will be dressing up in costumes, there will be party beads, drinking hats, etc, etc. We are doing this to have a great time!
• Please signup & pre-register for our event. Registering is a way for us to keep you informed and it helps us generate funds for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, in return you get a wristband that let's everyone know you are part of our group. (http://oktoberfestshow.eventbrite.com/)
• No Oktoberfest shirts this year, however, there will be Official Oktoberfest Hoodies for pre-sale. (http://volkwearclothing.storenvy.com/) One for $35 and Two for $60, use code "2for60". Get your orders in before this Friday, Sept 28th.
• Our event is not a traditional judged car show, it's a show & shine. A fancy word for a car gathering. It's free to show and there is no registration needed for your car.
• No more party packs. In the past, our event has always moved our after-party to Big Bear's Convention Center, this is right across the street from Motel 6. We have built an awesome relationship with the Convention Center, but as our event grows, the Convention Center can not handle our large capcity. But if you like to attend Big Bear Lake 42nd Annual Oktoberfest, you can get information here.
• Parking is limited. We are well over capacity with our Host Hotel and nearby Hotels. We are only reserving parking spots for our sponsor booths & staff. If you have a nice car, please try to find a good spot towards the front of the Host Hotel. All others please follow all traffic laws and find a comfortable spot. We are working with the city of Big Bear to find more available parking for all the attendees near and around the Hotel.
