Crazy Monday, carnival in the summer, with a current wink

In the summer it’s going to be hot in Pittem. And that doesn’t just have to do with Crazy Monday. The collapsed merger with Tielt and Meulebeke cannot be missed during the procession. Mayor Fraeyman is reassured: “I have already seen a number of guests dressed up. I have already seen a surrogate mayor. You are not afraid of it? No, we have made a decision, in good conscience. And we are still good friends.”

The Westhoekwolf and Zuhal Demir are also reviewed

Current affairs are, among the many KLJ groups, always present. The wolf plays his part, and Minister Demir is also there – in a Pittem way. Young farmers are stirring here: “You are angry? Yes, it is unjustified, all the criticism we receive. Hence this protest. We are going to have fun. But the aim is to call on people to think more about it.”

Rik Verheye guest of honour

Crazy Monday, that is mainly a carnival procession in the summer. With, in Pittem, a guest of honor every year. In a viable role. Rik Verheye: “Just be present and let it come over me. I was given a program but I deliberately did not watch it. Consciously. Because I thought it was fun, to go with the flow. What did I do? Walked in a marching band. And took over a drum, because I always wanted to do that.”
