Aguaviva will celebrate this Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November the 31st Fair of Products and Services of the Rural Environment, in which livestock activity will be resumed in full after the suspension last year as a prevention measure against animal diseases. The municipality in Teruel will again become a meeting point for agro-livestock professionals, companies and the general public, with an appointment that will combine commercial displays, local traditions, gastronomic proposals and leisure activities.
The program was announced this Tuesday in a press conference in which the delegated deputy for Culture of the Diputación de Teruel, Miguel Iranzo, and the mayor of Aguaviva, Aitor Clemente Guillén, took part. The provincial institution supports the event with aid of 3,592.80 euros included in its line of grants for fairs.
The fairgrounds will bring together 200 exhibitors, 41 stands, close to 50 livestock lots and between 100 and 110 spots for ambulant sales. As Clemente has indicated, half of the venue was reserved in about ten days and was completed in less than a month. Iranzo has highlighted the trajectory of this fair, which helps to drive economic and social life in both the town and the region.
Livestock, gastronomy and music
Among the highlights of this edition is the return of livestock activity, with a showcase of sheep, donkey, rabbit and poultry. The XVIII Competition of Razas Ojinegra, Maellana and Rasa Aragonesa will also be held. The livestock display of the Chantre will include two lots of six female Rasa Aragonesa and two stallions, one of this breed and another of Ojinegra, which will be raffled among the participating livestock breeders.
On Saturday, it will begin with the reception of companies, exhibitors and livestock breeders and the celebration of the livestock contest. At 11:00, the tradhumance will depart from the area of the Pabellón Polideportivo and, at midday, the official opening of the fair will take place, accompanied by a street parade with the Gigantes and Dulzaineros of Alcorisa. The musical program will continue with the group The Foxers in the vermú session and V de Versiones in the afternoon.
The gastronomic proposal will include a wine tasting of the IGP Bajo Aragón paired with products from the area, led by Bodega Dominio Maestrazgo, as well as a tasting of handmade chocolates on Sunday, organized by Chocolates Artesanos Isabel. For both activities, prior registration will be necessary.
