This report shows how the rice-cooking festival was held.
The festival was held in the communal house yard about one kilometer away from a river. There were three competitions: water-fetching, fire- making and rice-cooking. The festival took one day.
In the water-fetching contest one person from each team had to run to the river to get the water.
In the fire-making contest two team members had to make a fire in the traditional way. They tried to rub pieces of bamboo together to make the fire.
Six people from each team took part in the rice-cooking contest. They had to separate the rice from the husk and then cook the rice.
After the three contests, all points were added and the Thon Trieu group won the grand prize. The festival was wonderful.
