In the past few months Oud-Rekem, participated in a contest to determine the most beautiful village of Flanders. Out of 100 nominees were eventually choosen 5 finalists, one for each province.

Last week Oud-Rekem, particpant for the province of Limburg, won the contest with more then 1/3 of the votes, bringing some joy in the hearts of our villagers.

Thursday, day of the official announcement, we had some visitors in the village center and luckily I didn't had to work, so I had the chance to take a look over there. However I did had to care for my daughter so I was limited in my opportunities to take some pictures.

But here are some:

A minister and our mayor being interviewed by the national Radio



A cameragirl of a local tv-station


The promotional team of our beer sponsor, they provided drinks for all the night for free (Nonkel Duvel you certainly missed this :wink


And a celebration show underneath the old church tower



And some older pics of the village, I hope I'll be able to get some recent pictures in the near future, so we can also become one of the most beautiful villages of woophy



Maybe some other woophians were present that day, in that case please don't hesitate to share your pictures with us...

Grtz
