The last 2 weeks of the month we had the "Feria de los Llanos" which consisted of different restuarants around town selling food in a fairground setting. People were also selling artesania.. i bought some cool earrings and a wallet made out of chip bags. The last Friday of August was "Noche de Fumadores" or smoker's night which was an event to celebrate the Tabacco industry which has been such a part of the history of this region. There were tons of PCVs that came to Santa Rosa just to go to this event which was soooo much fun. We danced, ate, smoked cigars and basically had a whole lot of fun. There was a woman from the factory hand rolling cigars right up in the front which was pretty neat to see.
The following day there was the "Tarde con Aroma de Cafe" which was an event where the coffee producers from the area come and give samples or their coffee and the local coffee shops make cappuchinos. This year we were lucky to have Guillermo Anderson, a famous Honduran singer/songwriter come and perform for us in the park. It was a great day and a great concert. His music is rooted in honduran culture and the lyrics celebrate things that are very honduran in nature. 
All in all it was a very good feria, very well planned by the feria committee and a good time was had by all.

Sounds like a good time Kristina. It would've been a good time for a visit with you-see another side of Santa Rosa. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Quarter of a century old.
