The Governor of Guanajuato, Diego Sinhue Rodriguez Vallejo, inaugurated the Second Edition of the National Hat Fair, where the industry, history and local identity will be shown, fused with culture, economy and gastronomy.
It is, said the Governor, a young identity fair with great potential to become an event that occupies the cultural heritage calendar of Guanajuato.
“This fair, more than an economic benefit, is a matter of identity. There cannot be a nation, state or municipality that does not have an identity, since it would be on its way to disappear; in San Francisco del Rincón, the identity with inhabitants of this region must be strengthened.
An identity
“People expect a lot from this fair, there is cohesion between the municipalities and from there cohesion between regions is generated. We have to strengthen this identity, so that this fair prospers for the good of all. It is important to make your own this Franco-Rinconense identity”, said the Governor.
