As in previous years, enthusiastic visitors can find true treasures at bargain prices. The Pfennig Bazaar is known as the biggest flea market in the West Palatinate. Its name originates from the former German currency — the Deutsch Mark and Pfennigs, today euro and cents. Sale items include well-preserved clothing and linen, hats, children’s toys, antiques and collectibles, electrical appliances, books in English and German, and much more.

86th Dental Squadron dentist

Have you ever wondered how beneficial sports drinks are? Sports drinks
have high sugar content and acid levels that contribute to tooth decay.
In the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Dr. Alex Milosevic of the
University of Liverpool in England reported the case of a 23-year-old
cross-country and marathon runner whose upper teeth had eroded from
drinking sports drinks regularly for the past year.
