It was a good weekend for Oktoberfest. Organizer Justin Hoover estimated the total attendance at about 25,000 people in downtown Junction City.
This was the fourth year for the event. "Well I think they like the contests a lot. Stein holding is always a favorite and stein carrying is a favorite," said Hoover. "
Approximately 75 to 80 volunteers assisted with putting on the celebration.
Hoover said he thought the festival layout was better this year. "We took the tents off of Washington Street. We try and get traffic up and down Washington Street and I think we were pretty much successful with that." Hoover added that a little more needs to be done at the 6th Street end of the Oktoberfest layout.
This was the fourth for the annual event. Hoover confirmed it will be back downtown next year and thanked the public for their support of Oktoberfest.
