Expo Feria Begins April 29

This is a Copy and Paste from Michoacán_Net from Jacki Richey. I've edited it slightly. -DC

The fair starts Apr 29th and ends May 22. It is at the Nuevo Recinto Ferial, Salida a Charo.

I've never been, so if you have attended the fair, please tell the rest of us what it is like.

Every night there is a free concert, starting at 9:30 PM at the Teatro del Pueblo. On Friday, the 29th, Lila Downs will be singing. Lila Downs, a Mexican-American singer, born in Oaxaca. (She's a fantastic talent-DC)

Also posted on Morelia_Amigos, another of our own sites. I feel less guilty about stealing posts from them since I admin that board too. Even to include my address on the e-mail that gets sent everywhere else posting that information would give me some sense that they might intend to want their announcements posted here as well. I post things for other people who ask that I do so. Someday perhaps.

I've noted that David Haun,owner of Michoacán_Net, has arranged that every post contain a link to his Web site, www.patzcuaro.org .

Other than being slightly confusing to "where" you are, it does no harm at all.

I've been to the fair several times in both the old and new locations. Quite a bit like fairs anywhere in the US with animals, bands, midway, exhibits from different areas throughout the state. One year I recall being given free samples of tequila. Other than the tequila I don't remember it being remarkably different than any county or state fair I attended in the US. Always enjoyed attending and would recommend to anyone to give it a visit.
