The small town of Abensberg recently hosted the annual Chillamoos event, a traditional festival filled with competition, music, and a special tribute to Maria Kellner.

Maria Kellner, a renowned jeweler and designer, has been crafting the magnificent crowns worn by the Gillamoos queens for nearly four decades. Her creations, showcased at the event, were a testament to her skill and dedication.

Competition was a key element of the Chillamoos event, with participants vying for supremacy in various activities. One unique competition involved the consumption of half liters of beverages, adding a spirited twist to the festivities.

Food was another essential part of the Chillamoos event. Half chickens were served, providing a hearty meal for attendees. The festive atmosphere was further enhanced by the consumption of these dishes, adding to the overall enjoyment of the event.

The Chillamoos event is a cherished tradition in Abensberg, and this year's celebration was no exception. It was a day filled with fun, food, music, and a heartfelt tribute to Maria Kellner, the woman behind the stunning crowns of the Gillamoos queens.
