More than 1,100 visitors: Successful family afternoon
Something was offered to everyone at the family afternoon on Saturday, whether young or old. Some people explored the site and proudly presented their workplace to their relatives, while others enjoyed the XXL human table football. In addition to numerous other games, such as pushing a beer mug, a bouncy castle and face painting, plenty of food and drink was available. The Obermeier and Innbräu Volksfest team provided the families with fresh Hendel, cheese spaetzle and other delicacies, and cool drinks. There was also a crêpes and ice cream stand. So, there was nothing left to be desired.
