As a bonus on the way back from the bullfight, I completely by chance stumbled upon a local livestock and cheese exhibition near Travnik. I just happened to spot the festivities through the car window and stopped to check it out.

Here they only show the animals, and the best breeder gets up to 1000 euros in prize money. But overall, the livestock kind of stood off to the side. Every now and then they held various contests like tug-of-war.

The main action was happening in front of the stage. People were dancing kolo. It's one of the most famous Balkan dances. Everyone was in the circle dance: young people, older folks, and it looked like everyone was really enjoying it.

They started holding this exhibition relatively recently. This is the 11th event, but it happens every year.
