Stump-pulling is a carnival tradition very similar to “borovo gostüvanje” log-pulling. In villages where no weddings were held until the carnival, young girls and boys pulled logs or stumps across the village on Carnival Tuesday. Tradition includes wedding ceremonies of “borovo gostüvanje” log-pulling. The carnival habit has a symbolic meaning: it mocked young people who could not find a spouse yet. The poster invites to a stump-pulling on Cankova on March 4, 1930, on carnival Tuesday. The carnival was followed by a dancing party.
