One of the most important festivals in the region is the Animal Husbandry and Agricultural Fair in Hodmezovasarhely. This year it is between 6th – 8th May. Usually it is at the last weekend of April, which is the closest to St George’s day buti n 2011 it is Easter so the date was changed. At least we’ll have a bigger chance for warm, sunny weather. It’s not very enjoyable when it’s raining. It will be the eighteenth time this agricultural fair has been organised. In the old time there were exhibitions related only to animals but since 2005 agriculture and cultivation is also significant part of the exhibition. Apart from the six branches of animal husbandry which is present at the fair in Hodmezovasarhely, such as horse, cattle, pig, sheep, goat and poultry you will be able to see related agricultural exhibitions from the top companies.

Organizers in Hodmezovasarhely try to bring the latest methods and developments available in a place where you can see the animals in traditional Hungarian thatched roofed outbuildings. The atmosphere is fantastic and it is the perfect place for not only professional people but also for families with children. There are games and competitions for children, they can stroke animals and see lots of interesting things. There are eateries all around the place where you can also try Hungarian beer and palinka. At the fair you can buy products of craftsmen from the region.  If you come by car you should expect smaller traffic jams ont he way to the fair but policemen will be quiding you to the parking spaces. You can come by bike as there is a bicycle lane leading to the agricultural exhibition but be prepared that it will be very crowded. It is one of the greatest festivals in Hodmezovasarhely and locals always do their best to make it a memorable weekend.

Global Volunteers in Hodmezovasarhely

Last Saturday a team of Global Volunteers ( http://globalvolunteers.org/ ) arrived in Hodmezovasarhely and will stay with us until the middle of April.

Global Volunteers

Hodmezovasarhely is the only town in Hungary that invited Global Volunteers. It is an apolitical, nonsecreterian organization doing all sorts of work worldwide. They would go to any place basically but they have to be asked. Our local government asked them to come here and they did. In Hodmezovasarhely they have been teaching English to primary and secondary students for many years. They join English lessons in local schools and encourage students to use the English language. Most students are very happy to realize they can understand native speakers and become more confident. In my opinion their work is very important as students both young and older see what the point is in learning a language.
The volunteers are extremely popular they keep saying they're greeted even in the streets and sometimes invited to homes. They also give free lessons during their stay in Hodmezovasarhely in Nemeth Laszlo Primary and Secondary Grammar School (Hodmezovasarhely, Ormos Ede u. 18). The lessons will be between 4:30 and 6:30 pm on every weekday.
