Again, on the third Sunday of May, for the seventh year in a row, people gathered in the village of Khorlupy in Kivertsivskyi district for the son-in-law festival. In Khorlupy, more than a hundred sons-in-law — those who came to live in another's household, locals, of whom there are fifty here, and those from neighboring villages — came together to share their experience of living under one roof with their mother-in-law and father-in-law. Former village council head Ivan Chernetskyi, a son-in-law with half a century of experience, says that there are young sons-in-law in the village, but for some reason they refuse to participate in the event. And the current village head Leonid Sniharuk, also a son-in-law, says that there are many who sympathize with the son-in-law's lot, but they refuse to help financially. The most reliable sponsors of the festival, as always, turned out to be the mothers-in-law, who baked, cooked, and fried in advance of the holiday. And to thank them, their choir, under the direction of Anatolii Kravchuk, performed on the stage of the son-in-law town, performing the Son-in-Law Anthem written by a guest from Lutsk, Anatolii Mozul. By the way, the guest, having dressed in women's clothing for safety, performed chastushkas, and veteran choir singers from Kivertsi's "Oberih" also shared their art.
