Every year for the village holiday in Gurkovo, Bulgaria there is a Donkey Race, this year it took place September 4th, 2011. 21 volunteers from around Bulgaria came to the village of about 3000, located in Central Bulgaria, to watch three of our volunteers in our very own donkey cart participate. This photo shows the introduction of all the participating donkey carts (there were 22) with the Peace Corps cart in the rear. The event consisted of a race, donkey tug-a-war and donkey soccer.
