Well, we are almost halfway through the Folklorama Festival. The Paraguay, Heart of South America, Pavillion is our last venue we have scheduled for the summer. I am a little sad it is almost over. Then it will be time to look for more opportunities.
As usual, the performers are doing an upstanding job. It is the bicentennial year for Paraguay as an independent nation and the show artistically represents in dance the history of the last 200 years. It is an entertaining show with vibrant costumes and beautiful music. Dancers from Paraguay are here performing with the young local dancers. And of course, what would be the Paraguay Pavillion without the infamous bottle dance? I will bring my camera tonight to see if I can get an exceptional shot for the blog. The crowd ooh's and ah's during the final number when the dancers come out in their carnival costumes. If you haven't come yet, please be sure to come and visit.
Since Folklorama will be our last major festival of the season, keep checking our Ebay store because next week I plan on posting lots of items to the Ebay store. This week at the Pavillion I am proud to be offering some fair trade coffee from Mexico and Guatemala and some fair trade herbal teas from Ecuador. By purchasing fair trade items you will be helping the producers from these countries support their families, send their children to school, upgrade their production facilities and improve their communities. You can even order cane sugar from Paraguay. If you are interested, drop me a line at bbcoimports@gmail.com.
Tomorrow I will post some more pictures from the pavillion. I almost forgot to give a nod to Ben Peters for designing the stage backdrop. It is a replica of the presidential palace in Asuncion, Paraguay. He did an awesome job. I hope you can come to the pavillion and check out the fruits of all the labour that went into making this pavillion the special pavillion it is .
