Enter Festival

Last year Elder and Sister Bush happened to pass through a small village called Enter on a Saturday when they have a big festival. All the senior missionaries came this year. They have a museum and in front there were men making wooden shoes. It takes 3 years to learn how to make wooden shoes.

There was live accordian music.

Dancers dancing to the accordian music.

This man was showing us his horn. He would not blow it. They only blow the horn once time a year.

This picture is for Sarah. They have bikes with carriers on the front for kids.



This lady was running the spinning wheel while we took the picture.




The trick seems to be in the hands.



In the 1800 geese would be hearded to Enter and then on to Rotterdam for shippment to England. 20,000 geese would pass through Enter in the spring.

This man is leading the procession. He has a very stren look for some reason. On his back is a cage made from willow branches with a goose in it.

This man must be in his eighties and is still riding a bike - with wooden shoes on.

We stopped for pannenkoeken. There were two kinds - with and without spek (bacon).

Elder Anjewierden, Edler and Sister Bush, President Brubaker and me.

This is our Dear Sister Moore dancing with her sweetheart husband. She left arm is in a cast. She was born in Rotterdam and immigrated to the US when she was a child. She returned for the first time as a senior missionary. She was running to see all the various displays in Enter. She loved every minute. I will always remember her doing a dance jig up the street to the accordion music. She was smiling and I am sure she was hearing music she had heard as a child.

We then drove to Deventer for lunch.

On the way to Deventer we took the back roads and found this saw windmill. You can see the logs that have been pulled from the canal.
