Between June 17 and 19, the first
Feria Internacional del Galgo took place in Medina del Campo,
a town, located in the province of Castilla la Mancha. It was organised by the FEG
in cooperation with the Club Nacional del Galgo Español and was supported by the
Sociadad de Cazadores "El Águila Real". There was a rich programme for
galgo-lovers with a lot of stands, competitions for children in painting and photography,
presentations and discussions about the different topics around the galgo,
"Carreras en campo con liebre mecánica" and
last not least the Monográfica and the Concurso. In the course of
the Feria, Susanna Sáez and Claudia Gaede were invited to give a presentation
about Galgos outside of Spain. It was a successful event, which attracted approximately
200 Galgos and more than 5000 spectators. There were so many events offered
at the same time, that we only could participate in a part of them. |
