"Like in recent years, Westpfalzhalle will be decorated in a festive atmosphere with colorful flowers and Easter decorations," said the association's executive committee member Jürgen Feind. "The Easter market lures a lot of visitors from all over to Niederkirchen." About 30 exhibitors will display their handcrafted art items, articles of daily use and Easter decorations. They will offer handmade wooden items, Easter floristics, baskets, ceramics, jewelry, glass products, tatting and turning works, clay objects for the house and the garden, brooms, brushes, China paint and products made of natural stones. "Our visitors love to get advice from the exhibitors and use the opportunity to shop and sit down with a glass of French red wine," said Mr. Feind. Visitors can taste culinary specialties including French specialties and selected wines from France and Germany. There is coffee and cake, and a children's raffle. Admission fee is €1. Children under 14 are admitted free. "The diversified exhibition of Easter items is worth a visit and I'm sure that every visitor will find something," said Mr. Feind. Niederkirchen is located north of Otterberg, past Schallodenbach.
