The suitcase with teddy bears was loaded into the car and we’ve drove to the Mesee und Congress Centrum. The entrance to the parking lot was open all day, so we entered the southern passage without a pass and parked. We approached the registration desk and received a set of documents, including permission to enter, invitation cards, badges, various promotional brochures.

I quickly found my place D18, it is located in the center of the hall. Not far from me there is a stand with competitive works – contenders for the «Golden George». I covered my table with a linen cloth, decorated it with a lace braid around it and a crocheted tablecloth. In the center of the table is a cardboard country house, on the sides – two small wooden podium covered with linen cover, decorated with pots with artificial greenery. On the podium on the left, I sat down rabbits, on the right – bears in a nautical style and in a national German costume, in the center – bears in a Russian style. All my bears are small, so they are placed compactly on the table. There also fit a sign with my name, business cards and postcards with my bears.

In the hall there is a buffet, today we were fed for free with various pastries, fruits and drinks. Completed installation at 20:00. Tomorrow it will be necessary to get up early so as not to be late for the opening, as well as to finish the design of the stand. Guests of the exhibition and collectors will start visiting from 10 o’clock. If you have the opportunity and desire, welcome to the exhibition. Location – Messe und Congress Centrum, Albersloher Weg 32, 48155, Münster. Opening hours of the exhibition: on Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, on Sunday – from 11:00 to 16:00.
