After two years of absence, the fair returns to De Goorn, the highlight for many Goornarians. This is not just any funfair, but also the first in West Friesland after two years. Good news for visitors and the operators themselves.
After two years of bad seasons, the whirligig is finally allowed again. Rick Braak, from the operator family Braak, is happy to be back at the first fair in West Friesland after two years. The spring fair could not continue for the past two years due to corona.
“I have filled the years as a freelancer in construction.” Rick is happy that he can tour North Holland again with his oliebollen stall and whirligig. “I’m getting busy again!”
Highlight
“People missed it and are happy that we’re back,” Rick says as the happy children take a seat in his ‘float’. The fair in De Goorn is one of the highlights of the year.
“It’s so nice to be back in the old familiar place,” says the operator of the candy store. “De Goorn is always the first fair of the season for me. And I will stick with it; De Goorn is my favorite.”
