33rd National Craftsmanship Conference

From the staff of the Crafts Area, who summon and register the exhibitors, to those in charge of graphics and promotion, the workers who set up the stands, the municipal departments that collaborate with the supply and distribution of energy, and those who keep Plaza 25 de Mayo clean. Everyone, including the person writing these lines, is part of this great effort.

And we cannot forget another protagonist who, together with the artisans, makes the Plaza shine: the public. That loyal public that accompanies the fairs, that feels part of it and validates all the effort with their presence, allowing us to say in the end that it is worth moving forward.

These 33rd Conferences, as in other moments in the country, are not presented under the best conditions. But giving up and quitting are words that are not in the vocabulary of those of us who organize the fairs, nor of those who participate in them, both as exhibitors and as the public.

So, we can say with satisfaction: LET'S KEEP GOING! Thirty-three years of fairs is nothing. LET'S KEEP GOING! And we are going for more. Even if the wind sometimes blows against us, there is heart and strength to continue.

Crafts Department, of the Undersecretariat of Culture of the City of Concordia.
