Suppose you participate in the wheel parade in Roden. You have a lot of hugs and you like drawing. How are you going to decorate your bike? With hugs and markers of course, Manou thought.
That makes her one of the winners of the Parade in the village! Because one -man jury Bert van der Veen is paying attention to the details. “I have a heavy but important task today. I see if children have decorated their bikes or scooters themselves and created something beautiful with their own imagination.”
Not only is Manou’s bike decorated with markers and hugs of dogs, hedgehogs and cats, but she is also completely dressed in orange. “I have flags on my cheeks. And I’m on football so that’s why I have a football shirt.” And how she will celebrate her win? “I’m going to eat a lot of ice cream.”
The Vrijmarkt in Roden is opened with the wheel parade. Curious about what Voilà dance group collects money there and what the theme of the hexathlon in Veenhuizen is? Then watch the video below.
