AS jy nog altyd wou weet hoe lyk die grootste, sexy<\/i>-ste of mees buitengewone pampoen di\u00e9-kant van die ewenaar, moet jy definitief nie die Nieu-Bethesda Pump Palooza misloop nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is die sesde keer dat di\u00e9 pampoenfees plaasvind, en dit word ten bate van liefdadig-heidsorganisasies op Aberdeen, Graaff-Reinet, Middelburg en Nieu-Bethesda gehou. Vanjaar se feesdatum is 20 April (oor die Paasnaweek) en Chrissie Swarts, organiseerder, vertel dat di\u00e9 een van die groot gebeurtenisse op Nieu-Bethesda se jaarkalender is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie hele dorp deur maak mense oulike uitstallings en straatversierings met pampoene as tema. Daar word \u2019n straatmark gehou met allerhande handgemaakte items, interessant-hede en heerlike kos, veral verrassende pampoendisse; en lewendige musiek sorg vir vermaak. Besoekers reis van sover as Johannesburg en Kaapstad om die feestelikhede mee te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil graag nog maatskappye en besighede nooi om in te skryf vir ons potjiekos-kompetisie,\u201d s\u00ea Chrissie. \u201cInskrywingsgeld is R500, en n\u00e1 afloop van die kompetisie word die potjiekos teen R50 per kop aan feesgangers verkoop. Alle fondse wat ons s\u00f3 insamel, word aan ouetehuise in Graaff-Reinet geskenk.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die program begin Saterdag, 20 April om 07:30 met \u2019n pretloop, en vanaf 09:00 kan ingeskryf word vir die pampoenkompetisie. Daar is 13 afdelings waarvoor ingeskryf kan word, onder meer die grootste pampoen, die mooiste pampoenrangskikking en die beste bydrae deur \u2019n kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baba\u2019s (ses maande tot twee jaar) kan ingeskryf word vir die meneer en mejuffrou Skorsie-kompetisie, kleuters (2-5 jaar) kan wedywer om die titel van meneer en mejuffrou Boerpampoen, en kinders (5-13 jaar) kan inskryf vir meneer en mejuffrou Goliat van Gat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om 16:00 word die prysuitdeling en veiling gehou, waarna almal tot lekker laat saamkuier tydens \u2019n egte boere-opskop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie doel van die naweek is nie om geld te maak nie, maar wel om fondse te genereer vir liefdadigheid,\u201d vertel Chrissie. \u201cDit kos niks om in te skryf vir die pampoenkompetisie nie, en ook nie om \u2019n stalletjie by die straatmark te bedryf nie. Ons wil net so veel moontlik voete lok na die fees en ons oulike dorpie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
