First herring barrel raises €66,000
This year’s ceremonial first barrel of the new season’s herring was sold at auction for €66,000 on Tuesday.
The buyers were a group of young entrepreneurs from Harderwijk, news agency ANP reported. The money will go to a children’s charity. Last year the sale of the first barrel raised €55,000.
The new herring season is a marketing hype, says Robin Pascoe in our comment section.
