In the “small world” department, my stepdad is in your neck of the woods right now and has been to a couple of Fests. He’s in Kempten for 10 days looking at manufacturing machines for his employer. They make parts for military trucks and tanks. He’s been having a good time when he’s not working. He said he’s been taken good care of by the German company’s employees. They’ve been to the local sights and restaurants. He did this 12 years ago in a different part of Germany too.
