2010 Claerhout Festival - Excelsior 12-14 February
Jacob's Quest(JQ) is met ope arms ontvang op die Vrystaatse dorp, Excelsior, tydens die onlangse Claerhout Fees. Die gasvryheid van die plaaslike inwoners het herinner aan vervloë dae... of dalk was dit net JQ wat die beste in almal te voorskyn gebring het!
Jacob's Quest(JQ) was welcomed with open arms at the Free State town, Excelsior, during the recent Claerhout Festival. The hospitality of the locals reminded of days long gone by... or perhaps it was JQ which brought out the best in everybody!
Vader Claerhout is sowat 3 jaar gelede oorlede en die Fees word aangebied ter nagedagtenis aan hierdie bekende kunstenaar en skrywer. By die plaaslike landmerk, Die Pienkhuis was daar ook 'n kunsgalery waar van Vader Claerhout en ander plaaslike kunstenaars se werke uitgestal is. Besoekers kon die dorpie besigtig per trekker en sleepwa, toneelstukke bywoon of luister na bekende kunstenaars soos Pieter Koen en Fredi Nest. Daar was tussen 2000 en 3000 besoekers by die Fees en JQ was weereens ‘n treffer.
Father Claerhout passed away about 3 years ago. The Festival is in the memory of this well known artist and writer. At the local landmark, The Pink House, there was a gallery which displayed some of Father Claerhout's as well as local artists work. Visitors could view the town by way of tractor and trailer, enjoy plays or listen to well known performers like Pieter Koen and Fredi Nest. Between 2000 and 3000 visitors attended the Festival with JQ once again a winner.
