The Comfort Inn has requested that during registration, please let them know that you are coming for the Oktoberfest and you will receive a Special Rate. Also by mentioning you are a part of the Dachshund Races they are attempting to keep us all on the same floor.

 

Unfortunately the comfort Inn will not allow use of the pool area to have a meet up place, they will however, let us use a place to meet on the grass for those coming in sort of a "Meet and Greet"! The Oktoberfest is setting up a meeting place for all our Dachshund guests across from the National Dachshund Palace. There will be white picket fence setup and bench's to sit on under a large tree. We will have a sign posted!
