Mainz, Shot Put Christmas Trees!

Have you ever seen a Christmas Tree Shot Put?  This very fun activity was going on in the plaza.  I’m calling it “Shot Put Christmas Trees.”  They call it “Baumweitwurfmeisterschaft” (tree far throw master).  The contest area was laid out like a shot put field (all in pink).  The meter distances were marked.  Anyone could try.  Ikea was a sponsor and the top 3 winners got gift cards for 100, 50 and 20 Euro to Ikea.  They had 2 or 3 different size old dead crispy Christmas trees for small, medium and large people to throw like a javelin. It was pretty fun to watch.
