Celebrations Councilman Cehegín Francisco in April, and the president of the Association for Closures, Diego Martinez, presented the schedule of the San Zeno Fair 2009 which will bring 30 and 31 July and 1 and 2 August, two bullfights, bulls through the streets and trimmers and forcados contest, among other activities.
Francisco Abril highlighted during the press conference that "unlike previous years where there has been an entrepreneur, this year's fair was organized directly by the Association for Encierrros, in collaboration with the City Council, which represents a risk , but also many benefits to the locality. "
The council has encouraged cehgineros to go to the bullfights, and that "there can be no closures in the morning, with thousands of people in the streets, and then in the afternoon, in the square, seeing only cement."
To increase the number of groups in the run, has sharply reduced the ticket prices, offering even tickets for both festivals, by which "may go to the bulls for 15 euros", as reported in April.
President Pro-closures announced that this year we're going to be the organizers of the fair, so if people are not going to bulls, it's going to drop a large stone to the association. "
On the other hand thanked the preparation of the poster for this issue to the company Photo Lopez, who "has spent three years in a row giving us the design."
Other collaborators luxury again be the TV media Begastri Cehegín and MORE FM, broadcast live to the show in full.
