This year’s traditional Kunigundenfest (July 1 st to 5 th )
in Lauf / Pegnitz suffered from adverse weather conditions.
Particularly poor weather on Sunday even led to the
cancellation and postponement of the festival procession
to Monday. The fairground on the Helschen Wiese
was once again occupied by appealing attractions,
however it was lacking a larger ride for young adults.
Further attractions presented this time were the “Happy
Family” (Rüth), “Fliegender Teppich” (Hartmann),
“Hexentanz” (Markmann), “Caesars Wheel” (Landwermann/Henschel),
“Golden Star” (Holler), as well as a
dodgem track, kiddie rides, a beer tent, and a colourful
mixture of concession stalls from all sectors. ■
