Stumpertenrod greets me on arrival with bright sunshine and blue skies. But the weatherman was very wrong. After I found out my stand location from the market management, the construction could begin in peace. My market tent fit exactly into the allocated space.
Again, like last year, at the beautiful horse riding. Little by little the village fills up with stall after stall. It’s hard to believe what would happen here later. At first we kept looking towards the sky. But there was no sign of possible rain.
And suddenly it started. But what poured wasn’t rain but the visitors. From 11:00 a.m. the village is bursting at the seams. And the rush didn’t end until late afternoon. Anyone who hasn’t experienced it themselves can hardly believe that there is such a crowd here. It’s hard to get through on the main road and I’m happy to be a bit off to the side. But that doesn’t mean there’s less going on.
I can hardly take a breath. Since I am announced as a chair weaver in the program, there is a lot of interest. And a lot of people are watching me, because of course I have a chair with me that I’m renewing the seat on. But my basketry also finds its personal owner.
So the time went by pretty quickly and the market ended at 6 p.m. The dismantling progressed quickly and I will certainly be there again in 2015 when it is called: 18th Mill Festival in Stumpertenrod.
