[ Location ] Yasothon Villagers construct gigantic home-made rockets and ceremoniously fire them into the skies to 'ensure' plentiful rainfall during the forthcoming rice-planting season. The 2-day festival is an occasion for much high-spirited revelry, including beauty parades, rocket processions, folk dancing and stage shows.
