Friends, we need your help! My dad loaned us one of his favorite authentic Oktoberfest 100-Year Anniversary Steins that was hand-painted and signed. It’s a big keepsake for our German family and it disappeared at the event. We have a $100 reward for its safe return. If you found it, please contact me at [email protected]. No questions asked! Please help spread the word!
