The Christmas Angel Association organized a children’s festival again this year, where they could play, laugh and discover a lot.
Dornbirn The large area of the Emma & Eugen Arena in Dornbirn Haselstauden turned into a true play paradise for children on Saturday. The reason for this: For the second time, the Association of Christmas Angels invited to the “Festival of Joy”, where children could play at different stations and send their very personal wish to the sky with a colorful balloon.
focus on children
“Many children have asked me whether there will be such a great festival for children again this year. And after the festival of joy made such positive waves last year, it was clear to all of us that we would like to do it again,” said Sandra Antoniazzi from the Christmas Angel Association. Thanks to numerous sponsors for this event, nothing stood in the way of the celebration of joy. Before the children could play at the stations, they received a medal on a pedestal from the Christmas angel helper Reinhard Thoma. He greeted each child personally. “Nice that you are here today. I wish you a wonderful day at the festival,” he said and hung the medals around each child.
see the world through children’s eyes
The festival offered the children many attractions, so horse lovers could enjoy a long ride in a carriage and tractor fans could ride a large tractor. The Dornbirn fire brigade invited to water target shooting with the fire hose, the Dornbirn city police showed their work, ball games, braiding hairstyles, sticking tattoos, taking a funny souvenir photo at the photo box, showing your skills at the forest adventure station, winning prizes at the tombola stand or listen to the performances of the many live acts and marvel at the cool moves of the Dance Art School and Soul Box.
Sending wishes to the sky
To the hymn of the Christmas angels “Dreams come true” by Ingrid Hofer, the many children who appeared and their relatives let the 1000 colorful balloons rise into the sky. “Every child has the right to dreams. We believe in dreams and we know that dreams come true.” Since the club was founded 11 years ago, the Christmas Angels have been able to make thousands of children in Vorarlberg happy. Because here in Vorarlberg, too, the need is great, both emotionally and materially, as she emphasized. At the festival of joy, you could see happy children’s faces and a relaxed atmosphere among young and old. “We fulfill the children’s heart’s desires. Thanks to our sponsors, the dream of many children has come true,” said Antoniazzi proudly. Bvs
