If your Verein is going to the Oktoberfest in Munich, don't forget to order your fresh flowers! Check out the area near your hotel and make sure you'll be able to get flowers in the quantity and colors you need. An alternative: Our friend Vroni Bellinger from Trachten Poellmann has arranged with a flower shop near the business to take orders for flowers. YOU MUST DO THIS DIRECTLY WITH THE FLOWER SHOP (not through Trachten Poellmann). You can either email Blumen Zettl or call them directly to order no later than September 14. The linked instructions go into more detail; Vroni emailed them out recently to all the Trachtenmütter in Gau-NA. (Please note that Blumen Zettl is on vacation until August 29 but they will answer your email.)
