Quick Update:

So far we have 41 rooms booked out of 100. Please don't wait.

We highly recommend booking your room at Northwoods Resort. We got some exciting news and a lot of changes happening this year which we are very excited about.

No need to pay right now, just call (909) 866-3121, mention oktoberfest car and RSVP your room. Just pay when you check in.

[dub-Nation]

Question for Everyone: If we got a keg of beer, what type of beer would you get?

[skoolboi]

Something German, probably.. but I'm not picky..

[dub-Nation]

Ron, I think we are going to do the Samuel Adams Oktoberfest. But if people want something else, there will be a bar inside for any other beverage.

[skoolboi]

Sounds good.. more excited, I am becoming..

[dub-Nation]

So who wants to here some awesome news!?

[skoolboi]

I do, I do!!!!!.. seems like I'm the only one excited.. LOL..

[dub-Nation]

I am not sure, maybe the only one in the NorCal forum. But we have about 45 rooms booked. That's a pretty good start especially when they will find out this...

The Host Hotel is also the Car Show venue.

That means you can party all day, all night while you look at cars and worrying you don't have to worry about driving anywhere.

[skoolboi]

yesssssss!!!!.. sounds like good times ahead!!!!..

[dub-Nation]

Morning Everyone!

We just got back from WaterWerks by the Bay and Crafted Fitment. Seems like you NorCal folks are going to make the trip down.

I just wanted to remind everyone, that the car show portion we be hosted at the Northwoods Resort, which is also out Host Hotel. We have group code "Oktoberfest Car" that saves you $70-129 per night. But the coupon code ends Sept 14th. (that's in 2 weeks).

You don't need pay now, just pay when you check in.

So pick up that phone and call now!

I am trying to make it down. I have a call into the vintage, waiting for a call back.
Now, I have to convince my work into letting me go.
Thank you for putting this on Bernie.

Thanks for the support Cat. We put on this event to have fun.

If you are not having fun, then we need to fix that. The hardest part is convincing Norcal folks to make the drive to my neck of the woods.

If you want a weekend away, to hang out with friends and like to see nice cars when you get out of bed and when you drive around town for the entire weekend. Then this event will be something like that. Obviously the more and more cars that do come out, the more the reality this will be.

We have almost 2 entire hotels booked. Let's go for a 3rd, then a 4th and a 5th more hotels booked. This event won't happen unless you guys do something about it.

So please come, pretty please.

[Cody2003]

I may crash in friends room for this event... might as well seeing how I will be going to Simi Valley on the 7th...

Cody, you can roll with us back to Simi on Sunday. Moorpark is the next town over.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just an FYI, we require everyone who comes to this years Oktoberfest to register for our event.

Each person needs to register, by registering, you will receive a wristband that will let us know you are part of our group. This same wristband will grant you access throughout Northwoods Resort, the parking lot area, and especially the ballroom area inside for both nights.

I hope this clears up any confusion when reading through the descriptions of the registration tickets.

[dub-Nation]

Hello All!!!



We are less than 2 weeks away from our 4th Annual Oktoberfest Show presented by Fifteen52 & HRE Wheels. And wanted to let you know that we will be posting more and more updates about the event, upcoming specials and promotions from our generous sponsors that they will be announcing.

Please contact our sponsors and let them know what you expect to see, buy and/or take home from this years event. Sponsors like Fifteen52 (Title Sponsor), HRE Wheels (Title Sponsor), dub-Nation.com, Rotiform, 8380 Laboratories, California Car Cover, Golden Shine Car Care, OEMPlus, ABD Racing Werks, VolkWear Clothing, Wheel Snob, Eco-shine Auto Reconditioning, GraphicsWorks, Idwurks, Auto Essentials, Empire Fabrication and more.

A few announcements:

• We got a lot of fun stuff planned. It's a lot more fun when we all participate. People will be dressing up in costumes, there will be party beads, drinking hats, etc, etc. We are doing this to have a great time!
  
• Please signup & pre-register for our event. Registering is a way for us to keep you informed and it helps us generate funds for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, in return you get a wristband that let's everyone know you are part of our group. (http://oktoberfestshow.eventbrite.com/)
  
• No shirts this year, however, there will be Official Oktoberfest Hoodies for pre-sale. (http://volkwearclothing.storenvy.com/) One for $35 and Two for $60, use code "2for60". Get your orders in before this Friday, Sept 28th.
  
• Our event is not a traditional judged car show, it's a show & shine. A fancy word for a car gathering. It's free to show and there is no registration needed for your car.
  
• Parking is limited. We are well over capacity with our Host Hotel and nearby Hotels. We are only reserving parking spots for our sponsor booths & staff. If you have a nice car, please try to find a good spot towards the front of the Host Hotel. All others please follow all traffic laws and find a comfortable spot. We are working with the city of Big Bear to find more available parking for all the attendees near and around the Hotel.

Some Rules:

1. No glass bottles anywhere. If you bring alcohol, please keep inside your hotel room. Beer is available for sale on parking lot grounds and the bar inside Northwoods. Please support the Hotel. Keeps our cost low for next year.
2. No burnouts, drag racing, fighting or any immature behavior. Be respectful with property and the people around you. We would like to continue using this hotel, it's the biggest one in Big Bear.
3. No double parking or saving parking spots. Be civil and share.
4. Please clean up after yourself.

Our goal for Oktoberfest is to take over and to #OccupyBigBear. Our dream is to look outside your room and see a modified car. Everywhere you turn, you see a car rolling down the street, parking, getting gas, etc. We would rather see a modified car in it's natural environment rather than being parking. So drive around town and enjoy the weather and atmostsphere.

As of today, we have about 160 people pre-registered. So, if I based the event on our current pre-registrations, then we should have a fairly small event.

See you all in 4 days!

[RedheadRado]

I am out.(long story) I just cancelled my room at the vintage resort. It was a king bed room. So if anyone still needs a room, call them, it might still be available.
