This week we celebrate that two small villages Eemnes binnen and Eemnes buiten) became 1 town Eemnes, 200 years ago.
All kinds of festivities are organized.
A big tent in the centre of the town near the small harbor is the startingpoint for all events.
It is here where a big party is organized for coming saturday evening.
I have participated in one of the events, a 4 km run in the polders through water ditches, canals and muddy grasslands.
I can tell you it was tough, it was wet and the water smells like garbage
In this youtube movie you see the different items from last saturday, and you see me running ( almost at the end)
And off course a picture of the marathon man in action
