At a site near the local soccer stadium, Convoy of Hope, in cooperation with pastor Vesko Yotov and 5 churches from the region, was able to provide a lunch, activities for children, medical help, haircuts, and groceries to 2,861 guests. More than 200 volunteers worked tirelessly to provide a time of fun where everyone was welcome.

The Mayor and several of his officials have asked Convoy of Hope to return every year. One of them stated that no other event has ever had such a positive effect on the city.
