Boston, MA. The Txitxiburduntzi Festival (A kind of Basque BBQ) at the New England Basque club was once again a great success with more than 100 attending who enjoyed a day at Riki Lasa’s farm. Many in attendance, as well as the host, are former professional Jai Alai players who remained in the area after retiring. Among the participants were friends from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and some also came from Florida.
One of the attractions of the event is the Pork BBQ prepared by Patxi Gandiaga, as well as watching the rural sports demonstrations. There were aizkolaris, and a txinga competition, as well as harrijasotzailes. The professionals taught members and friends that wanted to try how to lift the weights.
