PHOTO: Autumn was welcomed in Bohutice with a slaughterhouse and a burčák. The knights spat fire
The courtyard is full of people, they sit on the grass and on benches, dulcimer music sounds in their ears. In addition to wine and burčák, the stall sellers also offer French pancakes, cheese or honey. And not just any. “I like the bundled one the most, the poppy is also special,” the young woman drips on a test portion into a spoon. He doesn’t seem to get his two little sons from the sticky delicacy. He buys a whole bottle for them.
Curiosity attracts the gentlemen boys to the blacksmith. The roaring sound of the hammer mixes with the smoke from the hearth and the hot piece of iron. Unusual tones of music attract girls again. Blisters appear between sacks of onions and wicker baskets. Just turn the crank to play an imaginary orchestra. Sisters Magda Kučerová and Božena Závišová are also standing next to him. One is from nearby Hostěradice, the other is local. “We look forward to the festivities every year. We talk, meet a lot of acquaintances and friends that we haven’t seen for years, “they enjoy the meeting.
Predators, swordsmen and dancers
He snatches all the rumble of the drums from the peace of contemplation. The passing knights head for the park, the crowd follows. “Falconer, here are the people, show them your birds,” says other attractions from the program, men from the Baštýři fencing club.
After a while, belly dancers take turns practicing hunting predators, and a ruthless fencing fight takes place elsewhere. Gentlemen test their endurance during a guided tasting of apricots and wine. The children roam on an inflatable castle, shoot from a crossbow, the more creative ones paint medieval letters or kneaded figures made of clay.
The evening ends with a fire show, the children go home to sleep and the adults spin it on the floor with the band Rusty Nail. A truck is still flying in the parking lot.
