8th National Fair of Prosciutto Ham... (20-21 Apr. 2013), Sinj, Croatia
The full title is: 8th National Fair of Prosciutto Ham and Dry-Cured Meat Products with International Participation (from *Sinj Tourist Board* website), which I simplified to food festival. This two day event was open to the public on Sat., 21 Apr. (Ibid).
It was my first festival in Croatia and had some okay moments; but it was badly organized. According to the schedule, there was supposed to be a cultural performance at 11:30a which never materialized; as a result, I lost about three hours of opportunity to explore around Sinj because I didn't want to miss it (so I moved to the music from the loudspeakers).
Oh, but I did sample some of the breads, meats and cheeses! It was also curious, as there were other things beside food which you'll see in the video (e.g. guns, pipes, etc.). It was held in the sportski dvorana (School Sports Hall, according to the *Sinj Tourist Board* website) near the park with the fountain of three men holding the alkar* (thanks to the woman with the tourist agency for this info.).
As for why I have selections of the various cultural performances, it's because there were several news photographers and videographers who, along with other spectators, were constantly getting in my shots. However, if not for this festival, I would've missed the opportunity to see some really cool things in Sinj (I have more videos to post).

Cetina Adventure Race Sinj Trailer
Cetina Adventure Race 2015
Adventure sport enthusiasts are given an opportunity to discover the unique and hitherto insufficiently explored natural beauty of the Dalmatian hinterland. The Cetina Adventure Race is organised by Adventures sports club Cetina Adventure, Mountain Club Svilaja, Adventure Club Osmica, The Vlaji Sinj Cycling Association, Dalmatia Explorer and Sinj Tourist Board. Their joint aim is to promote sports activities as well as beautiful scenic areas of the Cetinska Krajina Region.

Contestants are expected to take part in canoeing, swimming, MTB, climbing, abseiling, sports jumping from boulders into waters, rope crossing, with many other surprises waiting for them. Not only that the Cetina Adventure Race includes conquering natural obstacles and enforced challenges as well as facing unforeseeable weather conditions, but as a team contest it also fosters and reinforces team spirit, giving a boost to a healthy spirit in a healthy body.
The race serves as a test of the limits of human endurance and will power, proving that winning does not equal to reaching the winning post first.

Spomenik Tri Generacije (Three Generations Monument) - fountain, Sinj, Croatia
Well, it's nice to see only men on a fountain! Anyway, this is the English description in the *Town of Sinj: Tourist Guide* (n.d.): A monumental sculpture with a fountain, by Ivo Filipović Grčić from Sinj, is placed in the centre of the town park. Strongly symbolic, it represents the three men of Sinj holding the alka ring with their arms lifted (p. 12).
Except the men aren't separate from the fountain. More, the fountain design includes two other parts, narrow in the middle and wider at the end. I just think it's cool looking.

Traditional Hand-Wheel Pottery in Potravlje / Tradicijsko lončarstvo ručnoga kola u Potravlju
Promotional video of the Sinj Tourist Board, Croatia
Traditional hand-wheel pottery-making in Potravlje has been only preserved in this village near Sinj, in the Municipality of Hrvace, whereas in the last few centuries many other villages in the Cetinska Krajina Region were known for cultivating this ancient skill. Up to the Second World War, there were around fifty families involved in pottery-making in the Cetinska Krajina Region, out of which around twenty of them in Potravlje. The potters from Potravlje, or, as they are usually called in this region, bakrari (derived from a local name for a traditional earthen pot, bakra), used to supply the whole Cetinska Krajina Region and greater Dalmatia with their products. Up to the present day, they have sold their products at fairs in Sinj, Trilj, Zadvarje, Vrlika, Metković, Benkovac, Split and elsewhere. Apart from traditional pots, new types of pots are made nowadays, for instance, amphoras (for tourist purposes), flowerpots or pitari, and various miniature traditional pots sold as souvenirs. In ethnologic terms, a pottery-making tradition in Potravlje is categorised as hand-wheel pottery, where the hand wheel concerns a special kind of a small, low potters's wheel which the potter turns with one hand, unlike the foot wheel consisting of two wheels joined by a metal axle, where the potter turns the lower wheel with his foot. It is generally considered that hand-wheel pottery dates from prehistoric times, and in our region from the 4th century B. C. In most of Europe, this type of pottery disappeared a long time ago, having been replaced by foot-wheel pottery. Up to this day, the craft of pottery-making has been only preserved in two families in the village of Potravlje – the family of Jure Knezović (1933-2012), where his sons Ivan (b. 1962) and Pile (b. 1965) have carried on the tradition, and the family of Jure's brother Dušan Knezović.

Promotivni video Turističke zajednice grada Sinja, Hrvatska
Tradicijsko lončarstvo ručnoga kola u Potravlju do danas se održalo samo u ovome selu kod Sinja u općini Hrvace, a u posljednjih nekoliko stoljeća bilo je poznato u mnogim selima Cetinske krajine. Do Drugoga svjetskog rata u Cetinskoj je krajini živjelo pedesetak obitelji, a u Potravlju njih dvadesetak, koje su se bavile izradom zemljanoga posuđa. Potravski lončari – bakrari, kako ih u ovome kraju nazivaju, prema lokalnom nazivu za zemljane kotliće, bakre, svoju najtraženiju robu u prošlim stoljećima, snabdijevali su svojim proizvodima Cetinsku krajinu i širi prostor Dalmacije. Vlastite proizvode prodavali su po sajmovima, a prodaju ih sve do naših dana u Sinju, Trilju, Zadvarju, Vrlici, Metkoviću, Benkovcu, Splitu i drugdje. Danas se uz neke tradicijske posude izrađuju i one novih oblika i namjene, na primjer amfore (za turističku prodaju), lonci za cvijeće – pitari – te razni minijaturni oblici tradicijskoga posuđa koji se nude kao suveniri. Prema etnološkoj kategorizaciji, lončarska tradicija u Potravlju ubraja se u lončarstvo ručnoga kola. U stručnoj terminologiji „ručno kolo“ označava izradu lonaca na malom, niskom kolu koje se pokreće rukom, za razliku od „nožnoga kola“, što se sastoji od dva kola spojena metalnom osovinom, od kojih se donje pokreće nogom. Općenito se smatra da je lončarstvo ručnoga kola pretpovijesne starine i da je u našim krajevima poznato od 4. stoljeća pr. Kr. U većem dijelu Europe to je lončarstvo odavna nestalo i ustupilo mjesto lončarstvu „nožnoga kola“. Umijeće izrade zemljanoga posuđa do danas sačuvalo samo u dvije obitelji – Jure Knezovića (1933. – 2012.), u kojoj danas posuđe izrađuju sinovi Ivan (rođ. 1962.) i Pile (rođ. 1965.), te Jurina brata Dušana Knezovića (rođ. 1945.) u selu Potravlje.

Orvas Hotels Luxury Heritage Villa Tripalo, Sinj Dalmatian Hinterland, Croatia
Villa Tripalo is a Secessionist building dating back to the 1920s, situated in a quiet corner less than 100 metres from the main square (Pijaca) in Sinj, occupying a site covering more than 4,000 m². Restoration work on the villa began in 2007, following conservation and restoration research, with the primary aim of reproducing the original appearance of the villa as far as possible, both externally and internally, during the renovation work. With the help of builders and restorers licensed by the Ministry of Culture, the villa has been restored and transformed into a building worthy of visitors to Dalmatia of refined taste.
The spacious park is walled, and the entrance to the house is on the north side, through a gateway fitted with original, wrought iron gates. The roof has been restored to its original condition and the façade renewed according to the original, in terms of both the colour and quality of the plaster used, and the decorations. The east porch has a typical double-winged staircase and two balconies with decorative concrete balustrades. These balustrades and the glazed veranda on the south-west side of the building give the villa its country house character.
