There was no need to go up to Rigi Kaltbad or to Mount Rigi just to enjoy sledging.]]> Indeed, Winter is not really over yet. It snowed two nights ago and the grounds are still covered with snow up to now. Since Höchi is a hilly area in Weggis, the children went out to play on the snow with their sledges. There was no need to go up to Rigi Kaltbad or to Mount Rigi just to enjoy sledging.

It was especially done in Swiss German dialect and the performers were local artists from Weggis. The play was really funny and definitely a good watch.

“Ein friedlicher Spätsommersonntag geht zu Ende und nichts deutet auf das nahende Unheil hin, das unseren Bäckermeister Theo Dreyfuess am nächsten Morgen erwartet wird. Sein Lehrling Willi - ein junger Mensch, der die Flausen seiner Alterskollegen gemietet hat - überrascht seinen Chef mit einer grossartigen Sache.”
- From the Director Otto Schilliger
