In the heart of Ibbenbüren, the Grand Fair 2025 kicked off with a special visit from two local kindergartens. On September 5, 2025, the children from Kita Nelkenstraße and the DRK Kindergarten Wiesenzwerge met Mayor Dr. Marc Schrameyer at the town hall.

The day was filled with excitement as the children discussed the most thrilling rides with the mayor, from the classic carousel to the Ferris wheel. The children from the DRK Kindergarten Wiesenzwerge, in particular, showed a keen interest in the fair rides.

The visit was part of an annual tradition, marking the start of the Grand Fair. The children were shown the Golden Book, which they found to resemble a fairy tale book. Dr. Schrameyer patiently answered each question, explaining his duties and showing the children the city's history.

The children also received sweets for their upcoming fair tour and a ghost-shaped backpack hanger as a little surprise. The children from Kita Wagnerstraße arrived at the city center by bus, while the DRK Kindergarten Wiesenzwerge made their way on foot.

A total of 24 curious girls and boys participated in the visit. This year, the children invited Dr. Schrameyer to visit their kindergarten, promising a warm welcome. The Ibbenbüren Grand Fair 2025 started colorfully and full of sparkling children's eyes, setting the tone for a magical week ahead.

Although the names of the two additional kindergartens that visited the mayor were not provided in the available search results, it's clear that this year's Grand Fair is off to a memorable start. Last year, the children gave the mayor a cup as a gift, and this year, they presented him with a handwritten board, on which each child had signed their name.

The fair mixes tradition, curiosity, and fairy magic this year, promising an unforgettable experience for the whole town. As the children explore the fair and enjoy the rides, they are sure to create memories that will last a lifetime.
