Very nice to see! It would have been nice to hear about it before the fact rather than after though!

yes Sansa is indeed a lot of fun. Don't just come see it, you must participate in it. They have a half hour training session open to anyone right before the festival begins so you memorize the standard moves, and you will be thrown into the procession.
