Zapote Fair Starts
Tomorrow
If you are looking for
something to do this
week, don't forget the
Zapote Fair that kicks
off at noon tomorrow,
with rides, foods, all
types of entertainment
and the bulls.
The Comisión Nacional de
Emergencias, the
Bomberos and the
ministry of Health made
their final inspections
yesterday and gave the
green light for the
event.
Some 450 police
officials will be on
hand to maintain order.
The municipalidad de San
José espects to take in
˘150 million colones
during the Zapote fair
that continues into the
first week of January.
Last year the fair was
cancelled when health
officials did not give
the approval, especially
the bull ring that was
deemed a complete risk.
This year, the fair will
be sporting a newly
constructed permanent
bull ring that will be
the focus of the event
with the "toros a la
tica" event, where
amateurs stand in front
of a bull and then run
for their lives as the
bull charges. |
