"The weather god is Holzbüttger" headlined the NGZ to the marvellously beautiful Schützenfest weekend. The weather really did play along exceptionally well and gave all marksmen, interested parties and guests a wonderfully colourful shooting festival.
The Holzbüttger Schützenfest is of particular importance to Christian Horn-Heinemann. He is an active member of the "Gemütliche Jonge" and has been involved since his primary school days: "We see each other at least once a year, at the shooting festival in our home village of Holzbüttgen." And so, like many other CDU members, he celebrated vigorously at the weekend.
And there were plenty of reasons to celebrate:
- The new tent layout worked well and most of the tent visitors were impressed. Incidentally, the size of the tent remained the same at 25 metres x 60 metres.
- The children's shooting party was particularly popular: over 200 girls and boys from the daycare centre and primary school celebrated their birthday together. Children's king and queen Henry and Mira.
- The crowning glory of the Student Prince Florian Berzins and the Young shooter king Ben I. Rössler was celebrated on Saturday evening with a big shooting party with DJ Marc Pesch.
- The fairground attracted lots of young and old visitors and offered a nice selection with the caterpillar carousel, a children's carousel and a wide variety of stalls.
- Shooting King H.M. Patrick I. with Queen Lena proved that young parents also make an excellent royal couple.
