The little ones couldn’t miss out on the distribution of gifts either, Erzsébet Katona, the municipal representative of the district, brought them sweets and vitamins. The institution is about to purchase a projector, and the money for this has just been received.

– This is a spot of color for Liget tér, which happened last year for the first time and now for the second time, I think that the residents here cannot miss such an occasion – Gyuláné Máté said.
