10. How did the idea of Oktoberfest first come about?
  • Productivity Inc’s Oktoberfest Tool Show started in 1981 as a means to showcase new equipment, accessories and other innovations while in a fun-filled atmosphere inspired by a German-theme Oktoberfest with the usual music and food-fare. On display you’ll find somewhere in the order of 60 plus machines under power with live demonstrations and educational seminars too! Held every other year, this event continues to be one of the largest tool shows hosted by a distributor with visitors from all over the Midwest and further.
  • The historical background: the first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began on October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years, the celebrations were repeated and, later, the festival was prolonged and moved forward into September.
  • By moving the festivities up, it allowed for better weather conditions. Because the September nights were warmer, the visitors were able to enjoy the gardens outside the tents and the stroll over “die Wiesen” or the fields much longer without feeling chilly. Historically, the last Oktoberfest weekend was in September and this tradition continues into present times.
