RE: The Great Straw Goat of Gävle Turns 50 This Week!

in #tradition8 years ago

"Burning" update: it has already burnt down!

On the same evening after the inauguration, at around 11 pm, somebody threw a firebomb into the Yule Goat and it didn't take long for it to burn down. A dubious new speed record for the pyromaniacs?

Anyhow, thank you for visiting us – however briefly – this year, ye mighty Yule Goat, and see you next year! We'll make sure to welcome you warmly (or rather not)! :D

Poor goat! That was fast - maybe they should make the burning part of the festival itself. It was nice for the few hours it lasted. Happy holidays.
