The festivities on 17 August 2024 in Čečejovce also kicked off with the tour of the collective and the fleet; kids were captivated by new-born calves. The kids could also ride ponies, and they got small toys and sweets. Refreshments had been served in the new workshop, which proved useful as a shelter from the short but intense rain.
The afternoon festivities held in the outside premises of
the local authority are the subject of great interest every year. This year has
seen about two thousand locals from Čečejovce, mayors of neighbouring villages
and other guests visit.
The traditional roasted bull was accompanied by delicious goulash as a courtesy
of local huntsmen; members of the cooperative offered tasting of cheeses from
their own production. The goulash from Čečejovce isn’t complete without
potatoes – as the huntsmen explained, without potatoes it wouldn’t be a
goulash, but a pörkölt...
Kids could enjoy various attractions such as a bouncing castle, bubble blower
and toy stands. A local band kept the spirits up throughout the event.
