In 2008, I posted a couple of Oktoberfest photos here and here (comments there are still welcome). I hope I get a chance to visit the Oktoberfest this year, so stay tuned for some recent photos. In the meantime, you see the neat Oktoberfest Bier (Bier = beer) bottle labels by Paulaner Brewery.
Here's a close-up of the Oktoberfest waitresses carrying quite a few heavy beer mugs at once. That's a frequent sight at the Oktoberfest for sure.
Anyway, I think the Oktoberfest is a great occasion to celebrate the friendship among people from all over the world. Thus I am delighted to announce a giveaway which even includes a pink heart.
Another teaser photo -- can you already guess what the prize is?
Sure thing -- it's a T-shirt!
Show your love for Oktoberfest wearing this 100 % cotton T-shirt.
I pondered which size to offer and finally settled on M (medium). The front measures 52 cm which is roughly 20 inches. The cloth stretches a bit, so people wearing larger sizes should still be comfortable wearing the T-shirt. Those of you who wear a smaller size might enjoy the loose fit.
Earlier this week, I bought the T-shirt in the store below. I asked if I can take a photo to show the look in combination with black pants and a pink vest which the mannequin on the left wears.
So how can you win the I ♥ Oktoberfest T-shirt?
Simply leave a comment below (one per person please) and make sure that I have a way to contact you if you happen to be the lucky winner.
The giveaway is open until Sunday, October 2nd.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Have not been to Germany yet...hope to someday! Happy Pink Saturday~

ReplyDeleteHi Birgit,
ReplyDeleteI was in Germany in 1983 with my sister's German club. We went to a beer festival/carnival. It was in July so not Octoberfest. It was my first time in Europe and we had a fabulous time.
Thank you for stopping by my blog to let me know about the drawing. You're a sweetie.
Hugs - Kris

My Dear Friend Birgit,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to come for a visit. I love coming to your blog and was really heart broken that the computer was down for so long, preventing me from visiting.
I have been gone all weekend and will get a new post on my blog shortly. I think I will need to do some candy for everyone!
Sending you love!
Gigi
