Highlight 4: Big surprise in cartoon dolls
If the appearance of cartoon dolls brought us the first surprise, then the exposure of the secret in the cartoon dolls could really be another super big surprise. After Mr. Michels and department managers putting off the props on their heads, all the people were so surprised that the lovely dolls were played by them. Such kind of appearance just like a magic show, not only very creative and special, also made everyone felt relaxed and amiable, pushing the activities to another climax. To enhance the safety awareness of the employees, general manager Mr. Michels wears the helmet, which we sponsored for employees who ride motorbike; he also takes this opportunity to invite the family members to persuade our employees always wear helmet on the way to work.

Highlight 5: Team activities are full of enjoyment
Team activities are always a key attraction of Family Day. All kinds of activities allow family members of different ages to join in based on personal interest. The children enjoyed themselves in Bouncing Ball, Chain of Hoops and Rock-climbing. Parents kept encouraging their babies, and also never forget to fix those lovely smiles by the lens. The excited and adventurous team activities are always the favorite ones for adults. Super Hurdle Race, Safe Journey, The Tower and Super Hercules, all of these activities required good cooperation and excellent skills. Moreover, in the Bouncing Ball Relay, parents and babies both experienced the joy of full participating by all family members.

The Family Day is such a grand family event integrating dancing show, plant tour, delicious food, entertainment and sports. Everyone released pressure and indulged themselves in happiness. Finally everyone went home happily with nice gifts. So fast the wonderful day passed away, but our pleasure and laughter left in STIHL will become an eternal memory in everyone’ heart.
