Nong Bua Daeng district festival

I woke up one morning with Moni's mum and dad getting in a pickup truck and when I asked where they were going Moni said they are heading off to the town Nong Bua Daeng because Moni's dad was playing the drums in the Nong Bua Daeng agricultural festival. Me and Moni decided to go there ourselves to have a look. To be honest it was a lot smaller and less interesting as I thought it might be with only about 10-20 different stands but there was quite a lot of visitors.

We watched Moni's dad playing in the band with a mix of people from all the surrounding villages dancing or playing instruments. Some of them have seen me before in the rocket festival (I wrote about previously) and there's some people from our village also anyway they got me up dancing again with them and stuck me at the front of them all much to the amusement of the passersby. While up their dancing for them we quite a few visitors including the mayor of Nong Bua Daeng town and the boss of the whole Nong Bua Daeng district. I didn't find this out until afterwards as I thought they were quite important by everyone's reactions to them so I asked Moni who they were. Also this was the 2nd time a news channel cameraman showed up to film me but I don't know if it went on TV or not.
