All Saints' Day fair in Soest: Nessy stays at home because of the tree!
A new tree on the market square in Soest is causing great displeasure among the showmen. The popular Nessy giant swing cannot be set up at the All Saints' Fair this year as the current space does not allow this. According to a report by Soester Anzeiger Hans-Peter Markmann, the operator of Nessy, expressed his concern about the so-called tree protectors, who are putting a strain on the traditional fair with their zero-tolerance policy.
This is a particularly painful blow for the Markmann family because it is the first year in the 21st century that they are represented at the fair without a carousel. The new tree was planted directly in front of the Café am Markt as part of the market renovation, which led to a number of space problems. The Musikexpress also had to move its location slightly, which further aggravated the situation for Nessy.
Space problems at the fair location
The deeper reason for the rejection lies in the failure of the placement options. Despite a test run without a back wall, the fair office had to use GPS to determine that there was no space available for Nessy, even if Markmann's suggestion of moving closer to Café Fromme were taken into account. City spokesman Thorsten Bottin confirmed that the changed space conditions also made it impossible for Nessy and the Musikexpress to stand together.
Markmann describes the cancellation as a big surprise and describes it as a bitter blow for him and his family. “For the first time in 25 years, I will not be taking part in the fair, and my witch dance will not be set up either,” explained Markmann. In order to stay afloat, the family has also founded a second branch in Soest. However, due to the late cancellation, it was no longer possible to apply for other events, which is now leading to financial losses.
What's next?
It is still unclear whether Markmann should come to the fair as a visitor. He is already plagued by concerns. The city, however, emphasizes that Nessy is not completely excluded from the fair. However, when and where it can be rebuilt is still up in the air. “There's something going on,” as the saying goes, and the showmen are now hoping for a positive turnaround in the future.
