Nikolaus visit in Retz: joy and gifts for the children!

Retz, Österreich - A festive mood in Retz, where numerous children and their parents came together in front of the town hall on the Nikolaus afternoon. As is often the case with this tradition, Santa Claus was received by tourism city councilor Daniel Wöhrer and Mayor Stefan Lang. The event was accompanied musically by a “Brass Quintet” of the Retz music school, which with its festive sounds delighted visitors. The holy man did not miss the opportunity to hand over a red bag with small gifts to each child, which triggered the anticipation and radiant faces among the children. The active support of the Retz fire brigade youth in the handing out of the gifts made the event particularly lively, such as Noen.at .
