So, I guess this would make it Septemberfest.

First!

Brought to you by the same people who bring out the 2007 model cars in 2006.

And have Christmas sales in November... or October... or September... or August.

Why is it called Oktoberfest, when October is the correct spelling? Still broken though.

Oktoberfest is German. I also always wondered about the car thing. Good point DavesBrain.

Oktoberfest dosen't mean october. There is nothing wrong with this at all!

>globfarm:"well most of the real oktoberfest is in september so i don't think there is anything wrong with the sign."

True enough...but it was pushed back due to German weather more than anything else, and they still end the two week festival in the beginning of October. That's a good month after this so-called "Oktoberfest" was scheduled, so I'm still a little curious as to why this one wants to be special. I guess it's like the folks here who feel compelled to post "First!"

The history, for those who are interested, can be found at

Actually, it gets much worse. I recently read that Ford is introducing their 2008 F-350 model in January of 2007.

January.

Of 2007.

A 2008 model.

If someone can explain to me how that isn't broken, I'd appreciate it.

There are game magazines here where e.g. the October issue was released in mid August - just to be at the shop before the competition.

And you can buy 2007 calendars at least since June.

"Actually, it gets much worse. I recently read that Ford is introducing their 2008 F-350 model in January of 2007."

It's broken, but I understand the reasoning. It's easier to convince someone they're getting a fairly new car at the end of 2009 if it's a 2008 model, even if it was sold in January of 2007.

sitruc:Oktoberfest is German.

Well, why did they do that at THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK???

"Brought to you by the same people who bring out the 2007 model cars in 2006."

Far more amusing--2007 AMERICAN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS that come out in 2006.

So they now apparently can magically predict the future? Hey, if we can predict the future of America, politically and otherwise, don't we have better uses for this technology then school textbooks?

I'm assuming these things take a long time to compile, meaning it was probably done most of the way in 2005, so now we're predicting two years worth of stuff.

Explain how THAT isn't broken.

Haha, so I finally find "Sierra Vista" somewhere on the internet...and it's on thisisbroken.com. Does this tell you something?

They had it at Veterns Memorial Park because that's our only park. (The next closest park is likely 34 miles away in Bisbee.)

I've wondered about this event before, but I'm *pretty* sure that it's a moving event, so it just stops in town for a weekend and moves on, so it's likely that it continues on into October...somewhere else.
