June 23rd was the Dzhulyunitsa Fishing Festival.
For three hours on a hot summer morning the Dzhulyunitsa River was
visited by fishing hopefuls. Everyone in
the three categories (girls, boys or adults) wanted to be a winner for – the smallest fish, the biggest fish and the most fish (by weight).
For everyone else it was a pleasant morning visiting with friends along the
banks of the river in the shade of the huge trees.
