Last Saturday, the tug of war in the greenhouse was organized for the last time in the Netherlands. According to organizer Aron Scheffers of the Rita Hovink fan club, it was a very successful day. "The event is always well-attended, but the enthusiasm among participants has been decreasing," Scheffers said earlier. "We decided to organize the tournament for the very last time, and we want to turn it into a spectacle for the last time." That goal seems to have been achieved.

By the way, that doesn't mean the Rita Hovink fan club isn't organizing any more events. The organizers are busy with a possible follow-up.
