The day of June 1 was not free when we were new children-maybe only if you fall on a Sunday (remember? And on Saturday it was going to school!).

It was magical for us, all children (even for older people). They came “Călușeii” to the village and it was a day.

Everyone in the village was coming to see the stretched stalls on one side of the road on the side of the road, to be seen with some, with others and to walk “Deal-Vale” (I never understood why it was said, the street is very little in the slope).
Carousel and all miracles
For us, the children, the main street became a kind of “wonderful Dumbrava”: stalls with all kinds of toys, tutorugi, colorful balls filled with sawdust, hanging by an elastic, windmills, sticky lollists (Turkish sugars) and the endless wool, which was meant with sugar. 'Nea Nicoletto (the famous Italian in the area for his business) was great.

With the taste of happiness and milk powder.
