The family festival built on the success of its premiere in 2023 and was all about togetherness. Not only were employees of Stockmeyer , the heristo headquarters in Bad Rothenfelde, and the sister companies animonda petcare and Marko from Thuringia invited, but also over a thousand children from the region, who Risken from the Risken Family Foundation. Local schools, kindergartens, and neighbors were also invited. "The 'Ferdi Fuchs Summer Magic' is an opportunity for us to celebrate together and strengthen company cohesion," says heristo heristo.
The festival was opened in the presence of the Second Deputy Mayor of Sassenberg, Klaudius Freiwald, by heristo board members Marc Sodeikat and Stockmeyer Managing Director Guido Vienenkötter. Numerous attractions awaited visitors on the grounds, including the "Polyp," the "Break Dance," the "Love Express," and the bumper cars. Typical fairground specialties such as fried mushrooms, French fries, churros, soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, roasted almonds, and more ensured everyone was well catered for.
