Again this year I was able to have the prize for all award places be a Hummel figurine. Each child also received a gift bag which contained a Hummel figurine (donated by Manufaktur Rodental for each child), a "Sketch Me Berta" book about the life of Sister Hummel, a stuffed raccoon and a festival raccoon. Being able to give a Hummel for all the prizes makes the contest so very nice for the children. We have continued to be able to do this entirely due to your generosity! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
The audience to view the contest once again packed the Schwabenhalle!
