Overview
- Organizers estimated 10,000–12,000 visitors on Saturday and about 5,000 on Sunday, below the roughly 30,000 reported last year.
- Sunday’s storms led to cancellations including the falconry show and prompted some vendors to pack up early.
- Teichwirtschaft Moritzburg carried out the fish draws through Sunday at the castle ponds, the centerpiece of the Fish and Forest Festival.
- Henry Lindner reported the restocked carp had grown normally and projected a harvest of about seven tons.
- Visitors bought fresh carp on site, sampled it at show-cooking, and saw top specimens auctioned with proceeds pledged to charity.
