Around 40 dedicated helpers set about preparing the village community center for the big celebration. Everything was peeled, kneaded and organized - a real community effort in which everyone contributed. From preparing the famous potato pancakes with home-made applesauce to transporting the necessary equipment such as pavilions and stoves, everything happened hand in hand.
