Even the pouring rain didn't deter our numerous visitors.
Long before the doors of this year's autumn fair opened, people, big and small, were lining up again and in the starting blocks for all the great children's things, toys, household items, women's and men's clothing, which were once again available for just a few francs.
It was like a beehive and, like every year, we were happy about the many shining children's (and adults') eyes.
Our big THANK YOU goes to all of our helpers, box haulers, unpackers, “Büscheler”, cake bakers, truck drivers, storage cleaners and, and, and….
Without you this great event would not be possible!
