[Photo] Yeonggwang-gun Gunseo Residents' Day... Old Memories of 'Rubber Shoe Throwing'

The 33rd Gunseo Residents' Day was successfully held to celebrate the 2024 Year of Visit Yeonggwang. Although the farming season had begun, everyone gathered with more joy than in any other year.

This year's 33rd Residents' Day took place on the 27th at Gunseo Elementary School. Over 800 people, including Gunseo residents living in Seoul, united with one heart and one mind to strengthen the village community bonds. On the same day, the neighboring Baeksu-myeon also held its Residents' Day event.

After the first part of the ceremony, the women's association and the life improvement association shared a delicious lunch prepared together. Then, the second part featured residents' unity games and a community gathering.
