Q. Since the event is in early September, why is it called
Oc~Boulder~Fest!?
A. Years ago, Lake Compounce held their own celebration
with an Oktoberfest theme near the end of their operating season. Our event
was chosen to have a similar sounding name to go with both the Park celebration
and with Boulder Dash Mountain Coaster. On September 23, 2000, Oc~Boulder~Fest!
was celebrated for the first time. The Lake no longer holds their
own Oktoberfest, in fact the first year of O~B~F!
was the last year The Lake celebrated with their own Oktoberfest!
The park now closes their regular operating season earlier in September
in order to prepare for their Haunted Graveyard. |
