" Travel Care Horizontal pole-vaulting across
the Neksloot "

A great day out for all the family in beautiful Heemskerk on Whit 'Monday, May 12 2008 from 11 am 'till 5 pm

 One of the biggest events in the 'IJmond'. Exciting for the contestants and sensation for the public! The contestants have only one thought : "Will I make it or not!". Most jumpers don't make it and fall into the Neksloot 15 meter wide. There is also a fair with more than 80 stalls in the park, live music, 20 old Dutch games ,a bouncing cushion and much more! Last year there were over 15,000 visitors. For more information about this event go to the other pages. Have much fun in reading and looking at the pages on this site and see you next Whit 'Monday,May 28!

These activities have been made possible by the cooperation of several departments of the municipality of  Heemskerk,sponsors, Welschap Heemskerk, Radio Heemskerk, Radio Beverwijk, Radio Noord-Holland, the local and national press and also the 75 volunteers who, year in and year out, know how to make it an event never to be forgotten !
