ABOUT
Echo Events would like to introduce Boere Orkes Dans with Our Cullinan Farmers Market.
Friday Evening will host the well known KLIPWERF Boere Orkes. Bookings only - No walkins as we are only allowed to host limited amount of Guests.
Klipwerf Orkes got its name from the people who hired the group. The farm Klipwerf consists of a farm school, post office and cash shop. Normal farm activity is also part of the farm. The Visagie family farm - Middelwater - is located close to the farm Klipwerf. About thirty years ago, the old pendulum phones and handset were still in general use. The then post office erected an intermediate station for the hand exchange near the Klipwerf farm. Middelwater and Calvinia were also served by this exchange, so anyone who wanted to get their hands on the group had to ask for this exchange.
The process of making a call went something like this;
* First you had to pick up the handpiece and then turn the pendulum on the side of the instrument.
* The exchange on your side then answers with: “Number please”.
* You then had to give the number for the Middelwater farm: “Klipwerf 1121, please”.
* The operator then connected you to the staging post, which in turn connected you to Middelwater's instrument.
This is how more and more people started asking for Klipwerf, and it spontaneously became the group's name.
During the weekend we will also host the Well Known CULLINAN FARMERS MARKET Where locals sell handmade, self-grown products etc.
