\"Sainte<\/p>\n

(Text by Martin C. Jensen, USA)<\/p>\n

Da ich (G.M. Wiedenbeck) dieses Jahr verhindert war nach St. Marie zu fahren, hat mein Freund Martin den diesj\u00e4hrigen Bericht erstellt:<\/p>\n

It’s been 22 years since this author’s last visit to Sainte Marie, and the show has really grown in size! Now there are more than one thousand dealers! It’s still in the same lovely setting of the green and forested mountains of the Alsace region, and it’s always inviting to see the old vineyards and ruins of large castles everywhere. But, unfortunately, even more than before, it’s terribly obvious that the show has grown far beyond the limited resources of such a small village and such a remote location. The narrow and twisting roads into the village, all of the one way deviations, the large numbers of dealers and customers, and traffic backed up for kilometers makes for serious challenges. Combine these with the intense summer heat and humidity of June, biting flies and insects, intermittent cell phone service, and it becomes a daunting proposition to attend this show. By midday, many people are seeking any shade at all or sitting on the steps of the theatre and piscine buildings. It’s got to be a very physically challenging exercise for most of the elderly people. It seems many of the dealers are talking about the hopes of possibly moving the show to a bigger city like Zurich, Switzerland, where there’s an international airport, much better infrastructure, sufficient parking, convention centers, and plenty of hotels.<\/p>\n
