Toy Bazaar in Oberstedten

A “toy bazaar” is being held at the Taunushalle in Oberstedten on Sunday, 10th November, 2013.

Organised by the Aktion Kinderparadies e.V., it will be open from 10am until noon and the items sold will be toys, books, multimedia and toy vehicles suitable for children up to 12 years old.

The organisation receives 15% of the proceeds.

To find the Taunushalle, set your navigation equipment to “Landweg 6″ in Oberursel.

The nearest bus stop is “Landwehr” on route 41.

Open Day in the Open Air

“That’s a lot of money” commented Bardo K. as he saw the cheque for the first time.

The cheque in question was a donation from the Lions Club Bad Homburg-Weißer Turm to the charity “Natur und Psychomotorik e.V.” in Oberstedten for €4,367.20 who were holding an open day on their piece of land located in the woods outside of the town.

But if the Lions Club were on their side, the weather certainly was not.  After several days of sunshine it started to rain just hours before the open day was due to start, with the heavens opening as it got underway. [Read more…]
