In other news, while Octoberfesters are welcome to come into our city and to shotskiis till they're stumbling, students are again told to stay home for any student event.
As someone who was present for the keg tapping where two of those pictures were taken, this is being blown out of proportion.
Everyone was at a table (where they are allowed to remove masks... like every other restaurant in the region). The visiting keg tapping group, as well as all the servers and staff were fully masked. (Even Onkle Hans). The band were behind a plastic barrier. There was do dancing and there were young children... the Schwaben Club looked like any other restaurant. This was not a typical Oktoberfest event.
Does a picture of a shot-ski look bad in context.... maybe. If all members were part of the same family/bubble, there was no greater harm than those drinking at the same time at The Keg.

I really don't agree. I am not saying anything illegal is going on, but our leaders should be held to a higher standard, they should be demonstrating safe behaviour, and going out to Oktoberfest and doing shotskiis is not that.
More, I don't even think there should be Oktoberfest in this form at all. I am not visiting my family during Thanksgiving in order to be safe, because the public health recommends you avoid close contact with people outside your bubble. Public health and city council have attempted to stop any homecoming celebrations. But Octoberfestors are out drinking and carrying on--I find that in very bad form, and bad taste, but for a key elected official, terrible.
