Bierstube Oktoberfest Tent Party
Proposal for Saturday, Sept. 12th, 2009
The Hastings Bierstube would like to have an Oktoberfest
tent party with live music, traditional Germangames, beer,
and liquor in our East Parking lot on Sept. 12t starting at
approx. 6 pm.
I have talked to the manager of Thrifty White Drug about our
plans and he had no conflicts because they would be closed
for business during our festival. Also, even though the tent
would be set up during their normal business hours it would
not affect their customers ability to park directly in front of the
store.
We would have live music starting at approx. 8 pm and
ending at Midnight.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me
anytime.
Thank ou for your consideration,
