Sports Festival in Stelpe

Today Stelpe celebrates the 13th Annual Sports Festival.

The main point with this event that may by all means be considered a tradition of Stelpe community is bringing people together. They meet each other, talk and have some fun. The former students of Stelpe School, who are now scattered to different parts of Latvia, keep this day to come and visit Stelpe, and meet their classmates.

There are both individual and team competitions: Volleyball, darts, pneumatic shooting, lifting and carrying of kettle-bells, throwing of a sponge. Even though the competition runs high at times, socializing and fun remain the core values of the day.

Aiga Saldabola is the co-ordinator of the Festival. She is determined to keep this tradition for the years to come because she sees real value in this day, mainly because it is a good reason for people to meet each other. For the present, the Sports Festival is the largest activity taking place in Stelpe.

On behalf of all the participants, Aiga wants to say many heartfelt thanks to Vecumnieki Community Board and Aldis Dzirkalis, CEO of Stelpe Mineral Water Factory, for the support given to the organizers of the Festival.
