JULIAN, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. IS IT TOO EARLY TO START TAKING ABOUT OKTOBERFEST? >> MY PLEASURE. NOT WITH HIS WONDERFUL WEATHER, THAT IS FOR SURE. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS WEATHER REPORT TO SHOW US WHAT WE HAVE BEEN HOPING FOR ALL YEAR. GREAT WEATHER, BEAUTIFUL TIME RAISING MONEY FOR THE WEST MILWAUKEE LION’S CLUB. EDEN: YOU HAVE THE GERMAN K SHOWDOWN. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? >> WE DO. YEAH, WE HAVE LINED 22 BREWERIES COMPETING AGAINST -- TO CROWN THE LOCAL GERMAN BEER WINNER BASICALLY. WE WILL HAVE EIGHT PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD AND SHEPHERD’S EXPRESS IS JOINING HANDS WITH THAT, AND WE WILL CROWNED THE BEST LOCAL GERMAN BEER. WE HAVE SUCH A RICH HISTORY OF GERMAN BEER IN WISCONSIN AND NOBODY FOCUSES ON IT. WE’RE CELEBRATING OUR 95TH YEAR IN BUSINESS WITH HIS WONDERFUL CELEBRATION. EDEN: WHAT WILL THE WINNER WALK AWAY WITH? BRAGGING RIGHTS REALLY. [LAUGHTER] NOTHING MORE. AND WE HOPE TO START THAT THIS YEAR AND HOPE TO CONTINUE IT IN THE FUTURE. EDEN: AND THIS IS A HUGE EVENT AND TAKES ABOUT THREE BLOCKS UP SPACE. CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW MASSIVE THIS EVENT IS? >> WELL, I AM STANDING AT 59TH STREET, AND WE TOOK OVER SOUTH 59TH, SOUTH OF NATIONAL AVENUE, AND WE WILL CLOSE ON HOLLY AVENUE ALL THE WAY TO 50 EIGHT ST FOR THE FESTIVAL. THE CITY OF WEST ALLIS HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL IN GETTING THE PERMITS TO DETOUR ALL THE BUSES. WE HAVE BREWER GAMES IN TOWN THIS WEEKEND. WHEN I FIRST PROPOSED THIS IDEA, THEY PRETTY MUCH LAUGHED AND SAID YOU ARE CRAZY. AND ME AND DAN GOT TOGETHER AND HE WAS LIKE, THIS WILL BE FABULOUS. HE WAS PART OF THE CRITICAL PROCESS OF MAKING IT ALL HAPPEN AT CITY HALL. WE THANK HIM. EDEN: VERY NICE, AND ADMISSION IS FREE, I UNDERSTAND? >> IT IS. BUT IF YOU WANT TO DRINK A BEER, YOU HAVE TO BUY A WRISTBAND, AND THAT MONEY GOES TO THE WEST MILWAUKEE LION’S CLUB, AND IT IS FOR A GREAT CAUSE, AND YES YOU CAN COME AND ENJOY THE STREET FESTIVAL WITHOUT PAYING ANYTHING. IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC OR SHOP THE LOCAL VENDORS, WE GOT 20 LOCAL ARTISAN VENDORS WHO WILL MAKE T-SHIRTS AND ART AND JEWELRY AND THE WHOLE NINE YARDS. EDEN:
