Requests for medical-related services during Oktoberfest went up 39 percent from last year, according to a preliminary report from Tri-State Ambulance. There were 201 requests systemwide for ambulances, the bike team or a supervisor response.
Drinking during Oktoberfest is, of course, part of the tradition. But it's important to know when someone may have taken it too far.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers got in on the Oktoberfest celebrations, attending Craft Beer Night on Thursday.
As Oktoberfest officially begins, thousands of people are expected to join in on the fun during the four-day event. Because of the festival, area college students might notice some different security measures.
