Director General tile version November 2014 (Message from Director General)

At the Kanagawa Residents' Festival held on October 12, many inhabitants of the city came. The inhabitant of a ward festival is a major event in the ward, with the cooperation of Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Associations and various groups cooperate. Inhabitant of a ward festival is a great opportunity to discover local charm and interact with each other with group working in area. At the venue, Sorimachi Park, 127 booths and 45 flea markets were opened, including exhibitions and eating and drinking by 94 organizations such as welfare-related and administrative organizations, including the Neighborhood Associations.

[Opening Ceremony]

[It was crowded with many visitors]

In the event space, starting with the open ceremony by the City of Yokohama, Fire Bureau Music Band and Port Angels 119, stage performances such as brass band performances, dance, Japanese drums, and tai chi were performed by elementary and junior high schools in the city. The venue was applauded when the Hanagasa Ondo was performed by elementary school studenｔ of Kushibiki Minami Elementary School in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, which interacted with Aoki Elementary School. At the booth, along with the sale of specialty products at JA Shonai Tagawa Kushibiki Branch, it was gaining popularity in the sale of apples "Star King" raised by elementary school studenｔ of Kushibiki Minami Elementary School and jams and juices using the apples. .

[A lot of specialty products in the ward are lined up in the booth]

At the food and beverage booth where each district associations open, yakitori, Frankfurt, yakisoba, etc. were sold for the festival, and a long line was formed by the smell. Various calls were made to let people know about their daily activities, such as commemorative photos of children wearing fire fighter fire protection clothing, test drives on heavy construction equipment operated by members of the Construction Industry Association, test drive on the driver's seat of a large truck, welfare experience and health consultation. I think that tasting and selling Kanagawa-juku brand specialty products and selling local vegetables in the city were good opportunities to learn about the charm of Kanagawa.

Many visitors participated in the last program's fun lottery, and I think that each had a fun day. On the day, we were worried about the effects of the typhoon, but it was a lively and lively inhabitant of a ward festival with more visitors than last year.

[Kanagawa Ondo was also shown]

[At the end, it was a fun lottery.]

In May, an executive committee was set up, and preparations were being made for the inhabitant of a ward festival in each subcommittee of general affairs, ceremonies and special events, store openings and traffic security. We would like to thank the executive committee members who made an effort in holding the inhabitant of a ward festival and many related organizations who cooperated.
