The local ladies dress up like the bountiful beer maidens of Munich


News from Panama / Monday, October 16th, 2017

Oktoberfest arrived again in Boquete last week.  The local ladies strutted their stuff and worked hard to make everyone happy along with many other volunteers.

Here is a thank you message from the organizers and sponsors:

We are very happy and proud, we were able to bring this new and unique experience to our community.

 

It was a big effort from both organizations with the support of the community, residents, businesses and institutions.

 

We have received many comments about the wonderful time it was had: great food, beer, wine, sweets, ice cream.

Lots of thumps up!

 

They love the different bands and DJ……People were dancing and singing along …….what a great time.

 

Under the positive points:

We delivered a unique event that is being talked about in Boquete and David.

Everyone who came from David had fun and positive comments.

I also heard from friends from David, who could not come. They were so sorry they didn’t come after they heard

comments from the ones who came.

We were able to unite the community. We had such good mix of Panamanians and foreigners. This so positive.

 

To be able to have our community dancing, eating, enjoying themselves….. makes all worth it!

 

We also had some not too happy comments, of course no event will please everyone.

 

We look at these comments in a positive way as they all had one common denominator……the music was too loud.

Most people love loud music, many would like it lower. We learned that we need to find a happy medium.

Also we need to add a bit more “Um papa music”.

Everything else was GREAT!

 

We do not have the final figure yet…….it will come soon.
