Oktoberfest
1996
Our
“Oktoberfest” turned out to be a great success with more than 250 guests
attending. We welcomed 40 visitors, most of them from theformer GDR, who
had been driving their “Zwickauer Trabis” from Chicago to L.A. on the occasion
of the 70th Anniversary of Route 66. The Trabi Corso was the highlight
of the Oktoberfest. The parade ofcars brought back memories of that day
almost seven years ago when the Berlin wall came down and thousands of
Trabis were met bycheering West Berliners. A lively exchange of interesting
experiencesand stories of adventure along the way took place between our
visitorsfrom Germany and the Los Angelenos. Our thanks go to all the donors,
especially LUFTHANSA, who contributed generously to make the Raffle Program
exciting and to everyone who helped toorganize this very special event!
