The story about the Prodigal Son told in a contemporary manner stirred the spectators' emotions to a huge degree. It was performed by Misa Secondary School choir under the leadership of Zaiga Jēgere. The young people showed in a very convincing manner how living far away from God develops in humans vicious qualities like hate, greed, arrogance and haughtiness that finally destroy the personality.
They also showed the dramatic importance of getting rid of the evil in order to live a happy life.
Poetess Sarma Upesleja cited her own poems where the beauty of God's nature is celebrated. There were also some sketch pieces about the current situation in Latvia and the choices made by those in power. Together with Anita Stikāne, who has composed music to Sarma Upesleja's poems, they sang for Stelpians.
In the end of the celebration, all the guests were invited to the dining hall where brown peas, generously donated by Valle farmer Arvīds Zvirbulis, were prepared. The kitchen ladies of Stelpe School Rita Macpāne, Anda Blaškauska and Dzintra Polika had decorated the tables with candles, small paper Christmas trees and made the overall look of the hall beautiful and festive.
