A brochure, produced circa 1975, promotes Helen as a tourist destination. Pete Hodkinson remained at the forefront of Helen’s Bavarian tourism industry until his death in 1976. Not only did he host the first Oktoberfest in 1970, but he also organized and participated in the now-famous Helen-to-the-Atlantic hot air balloon race, which debuted in May 1974.
