From today's Sosua News:
[h=5]Traditionally, the Patronales celebrations in Sos?a exist of pole climbing with prices, a fair with cotton candy, goat meat, beer (cheap), and performances of the local hip hop and dance groups. To round off the festivities, a good merengue or bachata band performs. In short, a festival!
But the current organizers of the Patronales celebrations, priest Bernardo V?squez and Mayor Ilana Neumann have chosen to give the celebrations a more cultural cachet. The celebrations will be held in the park Mirador where a stage with many seats have been put up. Last Friday the ballad singer Sonia Silvestre performed. Sonia Silvestre sang beautifully and the audience listened attentively.[/h]

[h=5]Patronales in Parque Mirador[/h] [h=5]Saturday night the brass band of the Air Force played varied music. Especially the merengues were highly appreciated and were inviting to dance.
And the last information we received is that 'Sos?a Online' will organize the traditional pole climbing competition. Thursday, June 13 is the day of the pole climbing contest. For this purpose, a 5 meter high wooden pole is set up and smeared with a lot of grease. At the top they then hang sausages, bags of food and an envelope with money. These prices are made available by Sos?a Online and the local vendors. Whoever manages to climb the pole to the top can call himself the owner of all these desirable prices.[/h]
