Saturday night saw a rowdy spectacle of parading floats decked out in style, followed by Sunday's hearty breakfast. This year, it's all about the 14th installment of the Farmers' Games in good ol' Kirchhellen.
The mischief starts when over a hundred teams go head-to-head in a series of athletic jousts. It's all fun and games, though, as proven by the hilarious "Hoppe, hoppe Reiter - if he falls, then he cries" contest. Fear not for the fallen comrades, they landed softly on the fluffy sand.
Elsewhere, folks were being drenched, not from their sweaty exertions, but from the relentless rain showers. Muddy laughs filled the Olympiahof of Hof Steinmann (An der Dringenburg). Catch these ruckuses again at the next Farmers' Games in Kirchhellen in three years!
P.S. - Apologies for any oversight, but the interwebs didn't dish too many deets on the Farmers' Olympics in Bottrop-Kirchhellen. If you've got some inside scoop or know of another event, lend a brother a hand and fill me in, alright?
The spectacle didn't just end with the floats in Saturday's parade; outdoor-living enthusiasts shared their adventures on social media, capturing the spirited games at the Farmers' Games in home-and-garden settings. As the night unfolded, there were entertaining, sometimes muddy, moments that echoed through the Olympiahof of Hof Steinmann. Amidst the chaos, it became clear that this rural festival was more than just a competition – it was a lifestyle.
