Dia de los Muertos Feria de Artesanias 31 de oct - 3 de nov

Craftepeople from out of town and local craftspeople showed their wares.at this four-day fair. According to the calendar I have, there may be a repeat from 15-18 of November (around the Day of the Revolution), followed by a Christmas Fair 20-30 of December.Norma - all in the building near the city offices in Plaza de la Paz.

This time, Lilia Fernandea, who taught humanities at the prepa for many years, was showing her hand painted and hand enbrudered rebozos:

Weavers, metalworkers, papier mache craftsman came too, several from San Miguel de Allende. Visitors to the exhibits could pick up cards for heading to the display rooms on a later visit.

Women from the Santa Rosa Cooperative brought their mermaladas (I bought quince) and sweet liqueurs. A smaller fair than usual but I hope worthwhile for both sellers and buyers.

Guanajuato artist Raymundo Gonzalez Nieto creating fantastic creatures

During Cervantino 41, I dropped in to the Dieguino Museum between Teatro Juarez and the San Diego Church to see the exhibit of this young artist's papier mache creations. What a delight! And the titles add to the fun. The museum space works well as the setting. And yes, there's a mermaid among his creations.
