BRIEF: ‘Today’ show calls Tulsa’s Oktoberfest ‘one of the best in the country’

Sep 29, 2012 (Menafn – Tulsa World – McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) –“Bavaria comes to Oklahoma” — it’s a slogan Tulsa’s Oktoberfest could borrow from NBC.

Maybe they’ve used that, though, in past years at Oktoberfest, which we already knew was countless kegs of fun — and one of the best in the country, different magazines claim.

The newest validation came courtesy of NBC’s “Today” show when guest Kate Maxwell, a travel editor, included the 918’s take on the annual German extravaganza on her list of top fall festivals around the country.

“I think Oktoberfest, I don’t always think of Oklahoma,” an NBC anchor said during the segment. That’s probably a safe assumption for most folks outside the Sooner State.

“No, you might think of Germany, generally,” Maxwell replied before touting Tulsa’s annual German beer-infused bash as “one of the best in the country … Bavaria comes to Oklahoma, really.”

“The next best thing to Munich, I guess, is Tulsa this time of year,” the anchor said. Kinda cool, huh?
