The commune Harman, bordering Brasov, celebrated the second edition of ?Harman?s Days?. The mayor invited its guest in a very peculiar way, using a medieval formula: ?Inhabitants of the Stronghold! Our masters ordered all of us to start party in the 18th and the 19th days of the calendar of month August, Anno Domini 2007?. The effect was so that even the ancient German inhabitants emigrated in Germany responded the summons.
Vet?s Blood Tribute
On the occasion, the town hall awarded titles of citizens of honour for 17 war veterans. ?Our intention was to pay homage to those who gave blood tribute during World War II. Unfortunately, very few of them are still alive, and they are old and ill. They are the witnesses and the survivors of the tremendous conflagration and the living memory of this locality?, mayor Mihai Disor stated.
Equine Contest and Dance
The awarding ceremony was followed by the Junii Brasovului? Parade, an impressive display of riders wearing amazing costumes.
The local stadium hosted an equine contest, designed to award the most beautiful horse and team of Harman. The organizers also offered the participants sporting games, a mini soccer championship, entertaining fights and a brass band concert. The event was closed by an outdoor party and splendid fireworks.
