| Mode Heim Handwerk 2008 An excursion into the world of the Wild West, fascinating, trendy fashion shows, everything for renovation and furnishings, tips and products for hobbies and leisure and no end of action and fun for children: As a unique shopping experience for the whole family, Mode Heim Handwerk will welcome its visitors to Messe Essen on November 1-9. At the largest consumer fair in North Rhine-Westphalia, around 700 exhibitors will present tips, trends and great offers in the sections called Christmastown, Fashion & Beauty, Housing & Living, Hobby & Leisure, Building, Renovation & Garden as well as Culinary & Practical. The "Wild West" special show will invite the visitors to a voyage of discovery through the world of the American Indians. On November 7-9, the Body & Health fair will take place parallel to Mode Heim Handwerk. The visitors will be able to follow the trail of the American Indians in the "Wild West" special show. Fair Hall 4 will become the land of the Native Americans. A real tepee village will show how the American Indians lived in the practically and cosily furnished tents. The falconer Husky Linz will present noble birds of prey. Several times per day, the Cheyenne American Indian Hunting Wolf will give insights into the culture of his people in his shows; his dances reflect the varied history and the pride of the American Indian tribes. Of course, the visitors will also be able to buy jewellery made by the American Indians in the "Wild West". Children will be allowed to transform themselves into gold washers, to throw horseshoes or to rotate lassos like a cowboy. The legendary Route 66 will also make a stop at Mode Heim Handwerk with ten select trikes and six Harley Davidsons with gleaming chrome for the modern cowboy of the road. The airbrusher Matthias "Maze" Wagner will decorate motorcycles live on the spot. Ideas for Fashion and Jewellery Fashionable clothing from winter coats via leather jackets right up to soft and cuddly scarves, unusual accessories and handbags or individual jewellery in many variants - that will be the Fashion & Beauty exhibition section. Four times per day, Hall 2 will be transformed into a catwalk. Models will present the latest trends in autumn and winter clothing as well as in bridal and evening fashion. Everything for the most beautiful day in your life will be on display in the "Marriage 2008/2009" section. Handmade jewellery will be offered in the Artisan section in Hall 5. Here, the artists will also exhibit colourful Tifanny products, lovingly designed covers and cushions or sweet doll's clothes. The New Multimedia World Will Invite the Visitors to Try Things Out The Digital & Fun exhibition section in Hall 8 will be new. Here, both beginners and professionals of all ages will be able to obtain information about the entire multimedia world from computers via games consoles right up to telecommunications. Experts will be available to give professional advice and will thus help to overcome any initial reservations; of course, the visitors will also be able to exhaustively test the products themselves in situ.
