It looked like all of Abeilhan turned out at the féte. First we walked through an area with all the usual portable rides for kids and games like throw a ball at bottle. Then the main area with picnic tables set up and a stand selling wine and soft drinks. Everybody was having a great time.
We had a big table with a lot of friends. There was a huge stage set up and already very load (mostly American) music was bearing out of the giant speakers. At about 8 pm the show started. It was actually quite amazing. All in all I would say there were about 25 performers - musicians, singers, and dancers. It was all very professional. Apparently these traveling shows go all around the villages in the French countryside. The dancers had very impressive costumes. Anyway the 2 hour extravaganza included big band music, rock and roll, lots of dance numbers, and things like Tina Turner "Rollin on the River". A pretty good dinner was served on paper plates and after the extravaganza there was dancing. We headed home before too late as it had been a really big day. I never had any chance to figure out whether I had jet lag or not.
