There does indeed go a lot of time, effort and money into the costumes. I've never been part of any of their clubs, but I can imagine these are really dedicated people.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-39063738570088600582016-06-22T07:28:20.389+02:002016-06-22T07:28:20.389+02:00Wonderful post, Meike!

The first couple of times I was on using my phone on breaks at work and didn't have time to respond. <br /><br />The costumes the people in the parade are wearing are impressive! It's obvious that the people in your hometown are full of pride in their history, and rightly so!<br /><br />Thank you for these posts. They're so interesting!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-86790379026839142452016-06-21T08:25:16.822+02:002016-06-21T08:25:16.822+02:00Thank you, Kristi, how kind of you to say that!
Yo...Thank you, Kristi, how kind of you to say that!<br />You know I could go on and on and really elaborate on my town's history, but this was only meant to give you all a rough idea of it.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-65230449067615675682016-06-21T08:24:12.232+02:002016-06-21T08:24:12.232+02:00You are right, Graham, ladies have not been part o...You are right, Graham, ladies have not been part of such bands in the past. But these days I suppose hardly any of the groups would be able to survive without admitting females into their ranks!<br />Some of the ladies in Baroque dresses do not exactly look like they've been starving themselves, either ;-) They would have not been accepted at court with waists above a certain measure, which is why corsets were an essential part of a lady's outfit.<br />The baby pony has already been on the first post about this year's parade. It must have been a relief for it to get out of the noise and crowds afterwards, even though it was walking at it's mother's side all the time.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-67402096641893214882016-06-21T08:18:50.542+02:002016-06-21T08:18:50.542+02:00Indeed, considering how young Ludwigsburg actually...Indeed, considering how young Ludwigsburg actually is, a lot has happened here, many ups and downs!<br />Your town is of an entirely different character (hardly surprising), but I like it very much from everything you've told us about it on your blog :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-31190980620193627712016-06-20T22:43:15.165+02:002016-06-20T22:43:15.165+02:00This is such a fascinating post.

There was never a castle or palace in my town, which was established as a trading site and later on became a centre for textile industry. So even if we try to make up for it by adding some modern art now, there was never all that much "grandeur" in the town's history :)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-42736765782243501062016-06-20T16:03:10.747+02:002016-06-20T16:03:10.747+02:00They do not always match perfectly, but I think th...They do not always match perfectly, but I think they give an idea of what I wanted to say and show :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-90373487406337084622016-06-20T16:02:44.614+02:002016-06-20T16:02:44.614+02:00You are welcome, baili.
