Dykehoppers entertain
Many Clintonians had never heard of the Bird Dance
until The Dykehoppers came to Klompen Feest. Now the
Bird Dance and The Dykehoppers are one of the favorite
attractions at the festival.
The Dykehoppers have performed at the last two
Klompen Feests and will be back again thLs year.
The group was founded on April 13, 1966 and are
dedicated to promote the happy side of Dutch life. The
swaying of friends and strangers alike at the annual
Cavalcade during September, the show antics and fun of
Carnival between November and Ash Wednesday or the
wooden shoe dancing at the well known party nights are
all important parts of a Dutch celebration.
The Dykehoppers are based out of London, Ontario
where they are a subsidiary of the Dutch Canadian
Society for the London and District.
In addition to making fun and entertaining thousands of
others in Sarnia, Windsor, Pickering, Hamilton, Ottawa,
Kitchener, Guelph, Arkona and Wookstock, they maintain
the Dutch f'lklore, culture and traditions and also in-
troduce these to "Canadian" audiences.
They have organized benefit nights for the Royal
Canadian Legion Victory Branch Concert Band and have
entertained the war veterans at Westminister Hospital.
In Toronto they put on a Dutch night in observance of
the 35th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland by
Canadian Troops. They also succeeded in getting several
thousand bouquets of flowers donated by the United
Cooperative Flowergrowers of Aalsmeer, Holland,
