The De Mammoet Foundation has still received green light to organize an Easter fire on Erica this month. The condition is that the drought does not continue.
At the end of last month, an Easter fire was put on Erica. The municipality of Emmen did not want to have it on the farmland that the mammoth had in mind. It was a new location, because the place a year earlier was not available.
The mammoth raw the mammoth raw on the roof fell on the roof, but now there has been a change. “It didn’t seem possible anymore, but after extensive deliberation it was decided tonight that it will in principle take place under a few conditions. One of them is that the drought does not continue,” says organizer Barry Gepken.
“The mayor still wants to cooperate. He has also noticed that a lot of energy has been put into it,” says Gepken. “We now hope that some water will come from above. But we are not doomers.”
The Mammoet will immediately get to work tomorrow morning to make the preparations for the Easter fire. “Around coffee at 10.00 am we are at the building site on the Ensingwijk Zuidzijde, opposite the Strengdijk, on the land of farmer Lohues. People can bring their branches and forests there.”
