The Blume organisation starts...
________________________________
The first day is always a little chaotic ...:
Information materials must be checked, be ordered and be distributed, the arriving delegations at the hotel "Beverly Park" accommodated, thousands of questions has to be answered.
The fashion design student Nuria Fischer (photo, right) from Hamburg proves herself well already on her first day.
The daughter of the Blume organisation head Jesus Telo had also taken over the graphic creation of the Festival Flyers, which are now to bring logistically in the thousands hands of all festival participants...
She did it with a big patience and in a cool manner!

<< Supervisor Jürgen Klughammer from the Pfalz (Germany) is somehow the "good soul" of the Blume organisation.
Even if the organisation is sometimes a bit confused - up to now each of the Blume participants of the last 20 years had clearing answers from him:
"Our Jürgen mostly finds for everything a solution", - so the praise of the Spanish host Jesus Telo.
Flower grain Canaria - this is same also a logistic challenge!
Not only the international guests because of who come this time from 13 countries as well as from the Spanish mainland, but also because of the integration of tausender participants of all Canary islands.
All together more than 6,000 actors are on nine event days during 27 events plus 34 Workshops at 15 different event places on the island in action.
