kermes

The church had a kermes, a fund-raiser, last Saturday. They enclosed the basketball court with palm branches and tarps, and charged $RD30 entrance. They had a flee market, local entertainment, and a concert with singers from the capital and Jarabacoa. They made about $RD15,000 (about $US425).

Some girls from the club did a worship dance

They raffled off a 25-pound bag of rice.

Duary lipsank to Marcos Witt song (check out the kids that are pretending to play the instruments in the back).

They sold a lot of used clothing.

A politician loaned his truck with huge speakers for the concert. You could hear the music everywhere in Los Higos. These are the trucks they use during campaign season to blast political jingles.
