President Rüütel greeted feast participants, and together with the Hungarian President and some volunteers reaped rye, which he himself had sown on the previous Day of the Assumption of the Virgin.
The event ended with a dance party on the occasion of the 4th World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples.
The event was organized by the Estonian Open Air Museum, Fazer Pagarid and Leibur in collaboration with the Estonian Rye Association.
