Carnaval poster winner

Our congratulations go to our friend and local artist Alan Pearson whose poster pictured right was chosen from keen competition to be used as Olvera's Carnaval poster for 2010.
The poster shows what the Carnaval may have looked like at the beginning of the 20th century when local people gathered in a circle and threw a pottery jug in a game called Cancarro and also when a rope was strung between the houses to be used as a swing.
Hopefully soon, the schedule of events will be published by the Ayuntamiento for what is, in my opinion, the best fiesta of the year.
