 The Xere Cultural Festival Sundowner turned out to be a bliss as attendees were treated to the first ever Drones Show in the country on Friday night.

The show made up for the missed sunset at the Sundowner event that is usually hosted by the pans.

In their first pattern, controllers displayed a pattern written Igai Xere, the star, the bow and arrow where the bow later moved as if it was shot, the quarter moon and stars, Olympics medal, moving diamond, medal written number one and finally wrote the Pula sign that represents the country.
