Ahhh, yes!
One of the most popular features of
Clinton's 1Clornpen Feest are the Dutch
food booths, food from the old country
prepared in the traditional manner. And
the line-ups for those favorite treats will
be hopefully be shorter with a one third
increase in the size of the food booths at
this year's festival.
A fish market, operated by the men
from the Clinton Christian Reformed
Church, sells smoked eel, trout, whitefish
and the world-famous pickled herring.
Most eat the herring in the traditional
Dutch way, by grabbing the fish by the
tail, throwing your head back and tossing
►* the delicacy down the hatch.

Herring may not suit everyone's
tastebuds, but other Dutch treats are ir-
resistible to most. Another popular
Klornpen Feest booth is run by women
from the Clinton Christian • Reformed
Church. Here more than a half dozen
women work non-stop cooking and sell-
ing a special Dutch favorite, Oliehollen.
