Trenque Lauquen, Argentina. The Euskal Sustraiak Basque Club in Trenque Lauquen celebrated the 11th edition of its Ham Festival last Saturday, October 12th. Even if organizers thought about cancelling the event due to the economic crisis that Argentina is currently suffering, the club president, Susana Echaide, said “Despite the situation that is very complicated, and after some doubts, we decided to hold the event because we feel that this event has earned a place in the city after 10 years, and so now it is a tradition,” Echaide said in a statement in the local daily La Opinión.
The decision was the right one since the 11th Ham Festival was held at the Hall at the Club Alegre Barrio that was filled to capacity. Organizers provided the typical menu and after dinner was served, they didn’t waste time passing the bota around the tables.
There were addresses and recognitions during the evening by the club’s president, raffles, music and rhythms thanks to Fabio Muñoz and Fabio Brisoliz.
