of the accordian, their wooden shoes
clicking with each movement.
The Klompettes were first organized in
1979 by Corrie Segeren of RR 4 Seafoi-th

The Klompen Feest festival was the
main thrust behind the group, according
to Mrs. Segeren.

routines, but it took thein a while to

shoes, according to Mrs. Segeren.
