beginning. There wasn’t the traditional master of ceremonies present.
Instead on the right side of the stage you had a scene like in front of the
house with roof and the fence. The program started with old BAČI and a young
girl reminiscing about the good old days of his youth. The program started
with dance and song s from Ždiar. Followed by songs from Šariš and dance

the gala ended by dance from Podpoľanie region, Očová consisting of
three blocks: Boys orders, Girls bottle dance and Party under Poľana
