Well, like I said, it was the last day of this year's Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest. 45 years of fun and merriment with good friends and family are now firmly stored in the way-back machine. All of these pictures are from one day but not all will have captions this time because the subjects are mostly the costumed guests and you can easily see the same things I saw. So, select a picture after viewing any videos you’d like and use the arrows at the bottom left to move through the rest or select Slideshow at the bottom right and watch them on auto-pilot. And, please enjoy.
To kind of set the stage for what it looked like, here's a panorama I shot from the stage around 9PM. It wasn’t as crowded as I expected but there were LOTS of people. Click on the image to bring up a full-sized version. And then check the next panorama to see how crowded the floor became once the adult judging started. Again, click on the image to view a full-sized version.

The scene at 10PM as adult judging began
And while I’d planned to insert a few videos I took during the various costume judgings, I’ve decided to add them to a separate videos page so this page doesn’t become quite so cluttered.
You can find those videos here.
And, NOW, let's move on to the final week of pictures for this year. Enjoy!
