Over the weekend Rotary Club Sofia International represented by member Grant Dale attended the Rila Magic Festival in Borovets by invitation of Ivaylo Shopski. The event showcased Bulgarian Culture and was a tribute to the fighting spirit of the ‘haidouti’. As a foreigner I was impressed by the strength and perseverance of the Bulgarian Culture under centuries of oppression. A particular highlight of the event is the travelling heritage museum which has replicas of the uniforms and weaponry used over the centuries. In particular, the strength and endurance of the Bulgarian Spirit is evident, not to mention the passion of people like Ivaylo Shopski who embodies the national spirit of his forefathers. The day was concluded at Shumnatitsa where Mr. Shopski has created an enclave to honor the Bulgarian heritage, where children and adults are given the opportunity to feel, see and experience their cultural heritage.
