now published in every two months. This medium was complemented with the programs of the local radio station, named Rákóczi Hírmondó (Rákóczi Courier), that employed more or less the same staff. The centre of the village rebuilt, now gives room to a memorial park occupying the whole main square next to the marble statue of Rákóczi situated in front of the municipality. Several wooden headboards decorate the park, including that of the Society of Kuruc Traditionalists, established in 1996. The society have organised several programs. They also contribute to the yearly procession when a group of people mounted on horseback, dressed in kuruc attire and holding torches cross the village as far as the main square. There they lit a camp-fire, perform kuruc dances and on the Saturday of the week the prince was born they pay their respect to the prince with a kuruc traditionalist party. In 1996 they have launched a series of cultural, sport and youth programs under the name Rákóczi Tavasz (Rákóczi Spring), where they invite the representatives of the settlements which in this way or another are connected to the name of the prince, or those that belonged to any of the Rákóczi estates. The Mayor's Office organised friendly meetings for adults and civil societies and they organised the Rákóczi commemoration services, too. A summer series of programs, named Aratófalatok (Harvester's morsel), replaced Rákóczi Tavasz that was last organised in the second half of the 1990s. These programs, organised by the traditionalists, are based on a bread-baking, or else, artistic bread-shaping competition, where some loafs arc decorated with the head portrait of Rákóczi. Established a few years ago, the Society of Emigrants from Rákóczifalva aims at exploring the material and written relics that are connected to the history of the village, and try to make their achievements publicly known among the villagers. Finally, the exhibition organised in the museum of Szolnok in 2003 under the title "Rákóczi ábrázolások" (Rákóczi Representations) were deposited in the Artists' House, where it is permanently open. Nevertheless, on the basis of our research, we might conclude that villagers are not at all better informed about Rákóczi and the Rákóczi era than they were at the time of our first survey.
