I happened to be in the village of Nedvezi in the central part of the Czech Republic when the local volunteer fire crews were having an unprecedented bash: the were commemorating the 120th year of their founding with parades, marching and inevitably, lots of beer.

In the end, it rained, but it didn't matter - the uniforms were out, the guys were proud, beer was flowing freely and a good time was had by all. Some highlights here:
