U.S. members of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe/Chievres Community, participate in a traditional festivity in downtown Chievres. This annual golf-like, medieval sport of "crossage", takes place the day after Mardi Gras. Players drive a oblong oak ball, called a "chôlette" (pronounced: show-let), with a wooden club, to hit metal kegs targets set up around town. Whenever a player is ready to swing, he yells "chôlette". Chievres city, Belgium, Feb. 18, 2015. Also available in high definition.
