👩💼 Christine Brinkmann, the event organizer, can't help but smile. Despite some rain showers and music interruptions, the atmosphere at the Book Stroll has been electric thus far! With sunny intervals peeking through the clouds, it's been mostly a gray day, but spirits remain high. "Things are running smoothly," she beams, relieved and optimistic.
Although visitors have traveled from near and far, even crossing borders, no exact visitor count has been disclosed yet, but with five whole days ahead, the organizers are looking at a potential crowd of approximately 250,000! 🎉
